Football

         This past year I played on the Varsity football team for my high school. It was an unbelievable season where friendships were made will last a lifetime. We had an unfortunate loss in the second round of the playoffs ending our season. This was by far the hardest loss I have ever had, I have lost games before even playoff games, but there was nothing like this. Not just me, but the whole team we put so much time and effort into preparing for the season. Then for the seniors, Man that sucks that was the last time for a lot of them that they will ever put on pads and step on a field. With this happening it makes me more motivated for next year to be the best that I can. I am lucky that I have another year to play football and hopefully play at the next level. Look at all the hot shots out there, all of the hall of famers, all of the pro bowlers. I know for a fact that they lost games, and even championships at times. The thing is they never gave up they kept on pushing improving to get better each and everyday its what they do. Look at Michael Jordan for an example he didn't even make his high school basketball team and now is one of the most famous basketball players ever. Knowing that its possible just gives me a little more push to try harder and become even better. I recently met up with my recruiter and he told me something that I've never really thought about before. Some of the people that I'm competing with trying to get scholarships, they are literally are fighting for there lives. If they don't get that scholarship there not going to college. They are trying to be the first ones in there family to ever go to college or maybe even graduate high school. It just makes me more grateful that this isn't my last hope that if I don't get that scholarship  that I will still be going to college. Not just this, but I also gave my recruiter my top college options and it just makes me more and more excited knowing that my dream is coming true and its just around the corner.
