Hey Soccer,

I hope you really are improving. However, given your history of denial, I can't help but worry that you have decided to be less than frank with we cranky old nags. (I admit, we can be real downers.)

I don't mean to be insulting because I understand that your generation is far more relaxed about punctuation, spelling and grammar in casual correspondence than we old farts - but are your posts the best you can do? I'd feel better about your recovery if I knew you could choose to produce posts that were tidier and better organized. (My brain injury has done a lot to erode my written and spoken English.)You are, after all, intending to go to college.

There's more to getting a college sports scholarship than sports. As someone in contention for an athletic scholarship, you must also have displayed academic competence before your TBI. Maybe if you keep playing, you'll get that basketball scholarship. However, to stay in college you're going to need that brain you keep neglecting.

Please take care.
