Football Trading Cards
Something very special to me is my football trading cards, because of the past experiences, favorite football players, and it’s old. “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” is something we should all go by when we have special things to us. My brother told me, “Keep something from the person you love because you might not never have that person anymore.”

First, my past experiences with the football trading cards I got. My step-brothers gave them to me when I was about six years old. They gave them to me, because they felt that I should be the one to get the cards and I mean a lot to them. We have a special bond when it comes to football, but they both moved to California when I was twelve and I barely get to see them that much …show more content…
On the cards it shows their name, what position they play, and some facts about themselves. By that I can know more about them and know a lot about their love for football. One day I can go to some of the games and bring the cards with me and let the team players who are there sign my cards that has their name on it. That’s my goal is to one day go to every football game to let the football players sign the card it might not happen every single team but I want some. To know what their life is like when they started playing NFL football and what college do they go to. I want to know a lot about my favorite football players and how much football has impacted their life. Ask the football players how did they know that football was the thing they wanted to …show more content…
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover because whatever is special to someone else you have something special also. Football trading cards is a collection I have that can make my dream come true by seeing all of those football players and asking questions about their life. I love that my step-brothers gave them to me even though I am their only sibling at the time before my baby brother came along. From them collecting some of the cards for me I got most of them now except for one or two of them and they are going to keep on adding but I’m okay with

    The second thing I chose to put in my bag are some pictures of my family. I have my grandparents, all my aunts and uncles, my mother and sister, my fiancé and baby, and finally my dog Dori. The reason I chose these pictures to put in my bag is because I couldn’t stress enough how much my family members mean to me. I have had several friends either lose their brother, mother, or even grandparents, and it makes me WANT to cherish every moment with my family and REALIZE that I should. It also makes me thank God for the family that he blessed me with.…

    Jacqueline's Rationale For An African-American Family

    She gave it to my mother and then when I was in middle school my mom gave it to me. The book was called a drop of trees and it was true story about a girl who lived in the desert. When I came to the U.S, I took this book with me along with other books because it remands me of my mother. I think it would be nice to take something that reminds us of our families and loved ones. I think it is a nice tradition.…

    Best Game Ever by Mark Bowden

    The Best Game Ever, by Mark Bowden, was a great book that talks about the 1958 NFL Championship game that helped transform the NFL into what it is today. It has exceeded all my expectations of the book and truly shows the impact this game had on the NFL. This was the first ever football game that was a national event, this was the first ever professional football teams viewed by millions. It would also be the first sudden death overtime game ever played in the NFL, Making the game that much more exciting. In 1958 Johnny Unitas, the Colt’s star quarterback and league’s Most Valuable Player award winner, was making $17,500 for the year, five years later Joe Namath would be earning $427,000 for the year, and this stat truly shows the impact this game had on the NFL. The game even had an impact on the author, he and every other kid in the world wanted Johnny Unitas’ high top cleats growing up, everyone wanted to be him. This was the beginning of athletes becoming celebrities in society. I was surprised to see that football wasn’t very popular back then, before this game football was a joke compared to our country’s pastime, baseball. Football is now easily the country’s most popular sport, organizations would grow to be more lucrative and be worth more than many small countries. I did expect the book to talk more about the actual game though, most of the book just talks about the teams and all the players on the team’s lives and what happened leading up to the game. Very little of the book is the actual game, there is also a good amount of the book talking about what happened to the players after the game, unfortunately, half of the players from that great 1958 Colt’s team are no longer around today. The players who are fortunate enough to still be alive today talk very fondly of the team and say it was the time of their lives. The author wrote the book to show others the transformation of the league and how it affected the nation, including himself. The…

    Kobe Bryant Accomplishments

    I have quite a few trophies on my shelves. I went from being a lineman, to being a starting wide receiver. I have caught three touchdown passes. The first touchdown catch I ever had was probably the best meaning to me. I jumped when I got into the end zone because it was my first one and I was really happy. It was a deep streak into the end zone although, we did win the game. I caught a lot of passes against Lee high. I probably would have caught another touchdown but I got held against Honaker. During the Honaker game I got my knee hit on some guy’s face mask and my knee was bothering me. When we played eastside I had a lot of big hits I accomplished them. Altogether, I have accomplished some pretty great things in my lifetime of playing football, baseball, and…

    Fantasy Football Research Paper

    After we got to the city, we spended some time going around it and looking at some other things in the city. Next morning we got up, then got on the tram to the game, it was a 30 minute wait, but it was so worth it because I got to see the houses, how they build them there, the parks, this long and big river right beside the stadium. We finally got there, but we couldn’t go inside because the NFL is not letting people inside with normal bags, we hid the bag inside a bush then we got to go inside the stadium. They played the Jets and I got to see a lot the Steelers players like Antonio Brown, Big Ben. I got to eat a hot dog, popcorn, some other candies. But it was so good, but so much money to get food there. My seats were on the 50 yard line and the weather was sunny, but cool. But the most important time was spending time with…

    The Things I Carry

    In the novel The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien, soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War. Some men would have carried things with them during the war. These same men would carry things to remind them of home, others would carry an item to help them feel better during their hardships. What these men carried was something to hold onto, moreover not an item but of a memory or a dream. Soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War. I also have items that I would feel wrong without; these items are symbols of me.…

    The Accused Of Murder In George Orwell's Animal Farm

    One of them is that I performed taxidermy on my dog and parrot when they died. Everybody assumes that this was done while I was harboring my son, but they are wrong. I was absolutely broken when I learned that my husband was killed in the war. I felt as alone as if I was on a deserted island. By stuffing them, I am able to remember him as if it were yesterday, even though it was 20 years ago. The replicas conjure up these memories because they were his pets The second side to the “double-edged sword” as the agency man called it is that it makes my home look more inviting and congenial. This is something that, all through my life, I have tried to maintain. Sometimes it seems like the only thing I have to take pride in at this…
