Today, not long after having had my college volleyball scholarship confirmed, I broke my ankle after stepping on and tripping over a toy my baby sister had left out. No scholarship and no college whatsoever now. FML
scooterr14 tells us more.
im OP.and the break was bad enough that the scholarship was revoked. im not gonna be able to play volleyball for a few years due to ligament damage. im an outside hitter and i wont be able to jump. i could switch to libero but i wouldnt even manage to red shirt. my grades are not high enough for academic entrance

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ankle injuries rarely heal anywhere near completely. So many things to tear, scar tissue buildup, not to mention the recovery time required is insane so no one sits on their ass the whole time.

Well, that just don't seem right...where something relatively minor like this (as opposed to, say, having your foot severed) can screw up a person's entire life...

To people saying ydi: **** YOU JUDGEMENTAL *****, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE OP'S FINANCIAL SITUATION, JUST BECAUSE SHE GOT INJURED, PRACTICALLY RUINING HER CHANCE AT THAT SCHOLARSHIP, DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN RIDICULE THE OP MORE ON HOW HE/SHE DOESNT HAVE A BACK UP PLAN, BTW STUDENT LOANS ARE A REALLY BAD IDEA FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE RIDING ON SCHOLAESHIPS, dumb *****

You definitely should at least have some academic scholarships
