My Passion
I’m very passionate about sports but mostly I have love for the game of football. I have been playing football for about six years and it is the best decision that I have done with my life. While I was in football I learn leadership to think before others needs then myself, to be selfless. Football taught me many things but most of all I could do anything if I put enough sweet and tears of hard work into something I can do it, even though it might seem impossible. After years of being a Vista football panther, I had another family but mostly we formed a brotherhood for life.
My passion is important to me and those close to me because football made me become a leader on and off the field. Being a leader is more then just bossing people around, it means you have to take full responsibility for the people that you are leading. Meaning, if I fail or do not do the right thing, the fault is mine as a leader. Being a leader is probably the hardest job out there. You have to be a good example, you have to think of others before yourself. Some people would rather follow than lead because of its responsibility and hard work and selflessness, so that is why you see following more often. I find being a leader to be an honor and a privilege and I will never take that for granted. Football is one of the hardest sports out there for its physical brutality, its mental toughness, and you beat all of that with heart, desirer and hard work. Having heart and desirer could mean many things but to me it means to give every thing you have into something that you love to do and would do anything for it. To fight through any pain or problem that you face without giving up. Football has taught me hard work in the gym, in the classroom and on the field. It taught me how to never give up on something that I wanted and even through it might look impossible it never was. If you had heart, desirer and hard work to give then you will always

    In the article, “Should Kids Play Football” by Jennifer Shotz it states. “When playing football young athletes learn discipline, focus, teamwork-skills, and life skills, that will help them after football.” Football players in the NFL go through one long and grueling season after another, and that could put a lot of stress on them and make them more prone to injury. But sometimes it all pays off in the end when you get that full ride (scholarship) to the college of your dreams, and then get that five million dollar rookie contract “Football gives out the most scholarships each recruiting season..” But dreams are dreams and the chances of getting a scholarship are very slim even with all the scholarships being handed…

    I am very good at football. It is one of my favorite sports. When I was younger, I decided to try football. So then ever since, I kept playing football every year. Also every year I got better and better. I got lots of tackles in football. This one time a player was running to the touchdown line and I ran as fast as I can to get to the player. Finally I caught up to him and I tackled the player before he could reach to get a touchdown. That’s what helped me stay in football.…

    There are over seven billion people on this Earth, so what is it that makes me so different? I wear Nike, I drive a car, I play video games, I have chores, and could be considered a pretty normal person. I love, I laugh, I get angry, and I have emotions just like every other human being. The one thing I heavily identify with is football. For as long as I can remember I’ve played ball, and made some great friends along the way. The picture in the top left is a great representation of this. Football has taught me lessons of leadership, perseverance,toughness, how to deal with the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. (Bottom left: aftermath of beating Staley) Above all else, the best thing it has taught me was loyalty. Not only loyalty to a cause, but loyalty to my brothers, and ultimately my family. Football has created a foundation for my character, and without it I am certain I would not be the same person I am today.…

    Waking up at five a.m. to go to a contest or even to travel is not what most teenagers would want to do on a Saturday morning. There are a few times when being in the FFA is not always smooth sailing. Waking up to put on the blue jacket and official dress is not what I pictured doing for the next 3 months. Wanting to run for state office, I soon found out that it was sometimes necessary to do. My decision to run for state officer in FFA has been caused through many things, the present officers and my advisors encouraging me, it being a great way to develop my leadership skills, and my passion for FFA.…

    Ever since my freshmen year of high school, football has been the only thing that has mattered to me. I was given the opportunity to dress varsity as a freshman and being around that atmosphere, being on a successful team was intoxicating, especially to me at such a young age.

    Although there are many different sports, football is the best sport I have ever played. First, football is a very fun sport to play for fun or in a real game. In football, if you are mad about all your school work or just something stressful you can let it out on people by hitting them. Playing with your friends without pads or anything is also fun too, you get to have a fun competition with your friends to see who has the better team. In a real game it is very fun to get the ball and get a good run with the ball and score a touchdown, but winning the game is even better. Second, watching the sport of football can be a good game or sometimes can make you mad. Watching football is very fun especially when your team is winning, but can also…
