How Football Has Impacted My Life

For my entire life, my life has revolved around school and sports. My parents have raised me my whole life to care about school first and everything else behind that. I have tried my whole life to get ahead in school and be a top notch student. Sports are easily the second most important thing in my life. I participate in three sports: football, wrestling, and baseball. I am busy with sports nearly all year, and still continue to take hard, higher level classes. Football has impacted my life more than any sport I participate in. Sports have shaped my life and the person I am today. There has been many things I have had to overcome in sports and my life in general.

Football is my favorite sport, and the sport that I take the most pride in. I like the feeling of the team that stands beside me when I am on the field, and the comradery between me and my teammates while we are out there. I have created many friendships from football that I plan to hold on to. I also have learned life lessons to always get back up even if you have been put down. My junior year I had broke my hand the first game of the year on the very first play. I continued to play through that game and also refused to get anything done to my hand until it was unbearable.
Multiple times we have cleaned local roads along our house, because we don't like the thought of having a dirty community. Hunting and appreciating the outdoors has very greatly contributed to the way I look at the environment and keeping it clean. I hate seeing a dirty environment, which causes wildlife to suffer greatly. Hunting is something I love. We never waste an animal and take as much from it as we possibly can for it is not taken for granted by my family and our friends. A clean environment is something of beauty that everyone should see and be able to experience. I never treat an environment or its wildlife with disrespect and like to keep it
