Another paragraph needs correction

"I want to remind you that you need to do a speedy check up to your eyes and ankle before you embark to your next destination. I do hope this coming semester will bring a push to advance our academic aspirations".

It seems a bit strange. "eyes and ankle" is an odd combination, and the connection between the two sentences is unclear. Could you provide any more context?

The person I am sending a message to had an injury in the ankle and the eyes from an accident. I was trying to advise him to do check up since his injury happened three months ago. This got him to fail in his semester so I was just hoping for him that he will have a good semester that's coming soon and he can make it up for what he has missed before.

"I want to remind you that you need to get your eyes and ankle checked before you ???" would be OK. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "embark to your next destination". Are you talking about an actual journey (e.g. to another city) or a figurative one (e.g. referring to academic advancement)?

I'm not sure about the second sentence. Is it possible that "our" should be "your"?

It's an actual journey because my friend and I are studying abroad.
Correct it should be " your"
Thanks

"embark to your next destination" seems kind of clunky. You can say: "I want to remind you that you need to get your eyes and ankle checked before you travel."

In the second sentence, "bring a push" isn't great, and it isn't totally clear who or what should be pushing, whether the addressee (by making extra effort) or some other factor.

Sorry this is dragging out so. It is often
