Additional blog topic: A time when I got injured

In my secondary school, I used to run track. In my second year, I won the silver medal in the junior category 100m sprint race and bronze medal in the junior 4X100m relay. I was already building a name for myself in the school and I was predicted to even reach the ten second mark before the end of my six-years in that school.

In the next year's annual athletic event I picked up from where i had left off the previous year. I was improving my time consistently for two weeks. I was a top contender for the gold medal in the 100m that year. One day, though, I decided to test myself in the high jump. When I tried to scale I tough height, I pulled a muscle in my thigh. Instead of seeking immediate medical attention, however, I ignored it.

By the next day, I could barely walk. I had to be sidelined for the rest of that year's athletic event. This injury also affected my performance in subsequent years, because I was not able to perform well in the sprints from then on. This injury had a huge impact on my athletic carreer.
