My Dream Essay

Dreams have long fascinated the human race. This alternate reality, separate from the conscious world we see around us, has captured the interest of many people throughout history. In fact, mankind has been studying dreams since the invention of the written word. Perhaps the lure of dreams is that there seems to be some significance behind them. Most reject the idea that dreams are just random meaningless fragments of data. The vivid sensations that dreams create are just too powerful to ignore. The world of dreams is filled with peculiar phenomenon and unexpected events that beg our attention. Consider the following example of a dream:

It was that time of the year again, football season. Football is a sport in which I am very passionate about, I never knew I could or would be so passionate towards something, until one very specific game. It was a Saturday afternoon, the breeze was just right, the temperature was just right; not to cold and not too hot. Being the first game of the season I didn’t know if I was going to play or not. However, I was proven wrong Coach Smith hollered “Shawn!” I stood up startled at first and right then and there I knew that was my moment to shine and shine is what I did.

I was constantly looked down on, as through the practices, varsity players continuously knock me down and run me over. One varsity player named Jordan Zorbas hit me so hard I felt like a crash test dummy. Later in practices, the varsity roster was taped to the locker-room’s wall. I couldn’t place my name on the list, meaning that I was on the freshman team. I remember thinking,“ Why couldn’t I make it, “ but deep down I knew why. I began practicing with the freshman team at linebacker. September 7th we had our first game against Ida Baker high school. I remember making the first tackle of the game, with me wrapping the running back and stripping the ball from his meaty hands. Although I started the whole game, I was not satisfied with my performance and felt that I should’ve done

You are a top prospect for the NFL, you are the next Peyton Manning, the number one pick in the draft. Your college career was phenomenal! You were the athlete of the century! You led the nation in touchdowns, passing yards, and you won the Heisman Trophy. You are in the last couple minutes to seal off the championship game. The coach calls a play action and you do not see anybody open, you decide to run the ball. You are at the 11 yard line and a cornerback comes up from behind and tackles you. You tear your ACL, your chances for the NFL are over. Your scholarship is gone because you cannot play the sport the college recruited for. Your parents cannot pay for college, your college education is over. You have no money, a half finished

I was an incoming freshman, two weeks prior to my first day of high school, and I was terrified. I knew that I loved the sport of football, however I had heard stories from my brother about how tough Stepinac’s freshman football coach was. Everything that I was told was true. One of the coaches great lessons that he taught me was that a hardworking disciplined team is typically more successful than a team that has all of the talent in the world, but is not disciplined and does not work hard. That summer was the hardest that I had ever worked up to that point to start in a football game. The hard work never paid off, and I left at the end of that season defeated. I wasn’t good enough, I wasn’t fast enough, and I wasn’t strong enough. I had only played in two of the games, one, for a snap when

The first time I played football was in AYA. I was not good at all execpt at MLB(middle line backer) it was also my first year so i didnt know much. We lost about every game execpt for one time we actully won. But i got a concussion that game because a kid from my on team hit me in the back of my head. Our record that year was 2-7. When i got to 7th grade football it was way diffrent from AYA so at tryouts i went to the running back and quaterback position and i got the position . The next week we got our teams i made b-team i was so mad.But i got over it and the first game was aginst south our rivrly game. Forte vs south our biggest game of the year. Sadly we lost 14-12 but it was the closest frte has ever got to beating them. We

I had gone for tryouts but I didn’t make the team because of my effort. In my 10th grade Year I was still a little bit lazy but I went out for spring football and got in shape and even pushed myself to not be lazy. After my 10th grade year I went for summer tryouts and practice for 11th grade year. I had made the team but I want as good as the others. I was mainly in shape but just a tad strong. I had never got in a game of my 11th grade year except for one but that was just for two plays. I made a bow that I would focus and work the hardest in my 12th grade year. When my 12th grade year arrived I worked hard and have gotten stronger and my opportunity came when one of my teammates had gotten injured, so they put me in and I demolished the offense I had gotten two sacks and 3 tackles it’s not much but it was enough to prove that I was working hard. Everybody was surprised at my performance and was amazed. After that Game I started my next five games. After those games I began to see myself decline because I had girl troubles, I was messed up in the head so bad I couldn’t even perform

Football was my entire life, I had spent every waking moment focused on becoming a better player, and then after I tore my ACL I felt completely lost in the world. I felt like a fish out of water flopping around hopelessly with no idea what to do. Everything I enjoyed doing involved me being physically active and not being able to do anything at all sent me into a depression. I went through the next couple of months like a zombie, walking around as if someone had ripped my soul out. Everything was changing and I had no idea what I was going to do in the future. Since I was unable to play football anymore, the college that had offered me a scholarship dropped me. After I lost my scholarship I thought that I was never going to be able to attend a college considering I had been so caught up in football and ignorant to the possibility of injuries that I never even thought of a plan b. I had never applied or even thought of going to school anywhere else. I was so narrow minded about the world thinking all I was ever going to do was play football, that I had never considered caring about school or a real career because until this point I had never known a life outside of football. I was losing all my drive towards life and I was about to hit an all time

I come from a house where football is the reigning source of pride and entertainment. When I was younger, my family and I would wake up early on Saturday morning and get ready for my little league football game; afterwards, my dad would sit in his chair and watch college football. I had very minute competition for starting positions for all my life, until I reached the high school level. When I reached the end of my freshman year of football, I was one of the lucky ten to move up to the varsity level. It was the first year I had never gotten a chance to play in a game, and it felt as if I had no right to be considered a state champion. The following year, I earned a starting position on the varsity defensive line, and I immediately started to become over-confident of this achievement. Due to not producing on the field, I lost that starting position to stubbly little senior a few weeks into the season. I was soon switched to offensive line where I earned a starting spot on the roster. Later on in the first round of the play offs, I broke my foot and was not able to play the rest of the year. That was a rough year to say the least, for my

To me, the notions that my grandfather was once as young as me and that I will one day be as old as him are equally preposterous and improbable. But, you know what’s perfectly plausible and, sometimes, desirable? An alien civilization living some billion light years away with mosquitos-to-ice-cream conversion machine available for rent to inter-galactic neighbors.

It was my first playoff game it was against U of D Jesuit. I remember that morning at the field, it was misty, mysterious it like an unknown land to me. I warmed up with my team we were ready for our game. The game starts off intense both U of D and our drives went flat due to good defense. I was runningback and was supposed to do well, but I kept getting bogged down by their secondary. The game went back and forth they scored the first touchdown of the game, but missed the extra point. The first half was over and my team was trailing 8-0. My teammates and I were in disbelief we never trailed all season and it seem like nothing we did on offense worked. The second half started up my team was determined to get something working. We got the ball and started to drive up the field but bogged down it was fourth and three yards to go. Coach decided to go for it He pt me in at running

All your life you’ve dreamed big, but would your dream turn into reality? Imagine someone other than yourself putting it in your head what you're set out to be in life. Highschool football was everything to me. I've taken many sacrifices such as quitting my job; picking up unnecessary classes, and focusing on football it's self instead of other important responsibilities. These three things set me back, regrettably I became an athlete instead of a student athlete. With no desire to do anything else in life I always wondered when this is over what's next?
