Personal Narrative: My Experience In Football

think of a time when you worked extra hard for something and you accomplished it. What did you feel? a sense of joy and accomplishment? well that’s what I felt in these next few stories Imma gonna tell ya.
It was 2012, football had just ended and I’d never been so excited for wrestling season. I was coming off a season where I went 34-8 and was a state qualifier, getting second at both regional and sectionals. I had wrestled 75 pounds last year, but this year I was weighing 90 pounds and was gonna have to lose some weight to make 80. I had been elected captain at the end of the 2011-2012 season.

It came down to this if I could just spin around and get the takedown I would go to state. I rammed my fist across his face trying to get him to break his grip he didn't let up. I did it again, this time harder I could hear the bone on bone grinding together and he gave up. I spun around and won. I lost 4-2 in the finals to the number one kid in the state, but I was okay with that. At state i was ranked 4th but wrestled bad and got 6th. But I felt like I was a state champ I had accomplished something that I had worked very hard for and no one could take that away from
