My Dreams In My Life

It was my senior year of high school football and all I could do was sit on the bench with an injury. It was so frustrating because all I wanted to do was be on the field playing with my brothers like I have since freshman year. I was just so happy to be on the field on those Friday nights and just get to play the game made me so happy when I first started playing. Until I got a big head and started thinking about myself and what I was going do that game or how many touchdowns I was going to score that game. I stopped thinking about the team because of my success. I think this might be a lesson I needed to learn and if I did not, I would have had a big head my whole senior year and never would have saw the real reasons why I loved playing

Football isn’t just about going on the field and playing 4 quarters against another team every week. It’s not just those Friday nights going to watch your high school team play. Football is a brotherhood, it’s your second family. It’s making memories that you will have with you for the rest of your life. It’s the hours of preparation, sweat, tears, blood, bumps and bruises and going back out everyday just to give it your all. Football isn’t just a game that i’ve played it’s something that has shaped me into the person I am today.

Football is a game of passion, a time when nothing else matters and the only thing that matters is going out there having fun and fighting for the guy next to you. Football has always been something that I loved and had a wild passion for. I’ve made friendships and memories to last a life time and I can always be grateful that football did that for me. Now of course I’ve had some bad memories during football as well, I remember walking out of the film room on the last day of spring ball and having Coach Antle grab me and say “Gage, I think I want to try you at a new position, I want to put you at defensive end. We need you more there and we think you can really excel there.” I remember being so furious, I had played linebacker ever since I could remember and now the last day of spring ball my senior year everything was about to change.

After quitting, I focused solely on football. I loved being apart of the team. The thought of playing on a field just like The New England Patriots always ran through my head. I’ve always dreamed about being in the NFL since I was 4. (my first year in The Little Knights). Knowingly by now, the NFL is a rare career to achieve.

I never really had a true passion for football in my early years of my life. I thought of it as a pointless game where a bunch of giant fat men fought over a brown pointy ball. My dad on the other hand, took football to a whole new level. Spartan football was and still is his life.

I Darron enjoy the sport of football, and it is well played on are every day basis. On ESPN the highlights just make me look back on my past like what I could have done and how I should have done it. Sometimes I wish I should have stayed in shape and focused in school. But anyways football will always be my sport the touchdowns, interceptions and impact. Another big thing about football for me is the crowd well I know in big ball league it’s the best the excitement and cheering from the fans true fans and the great Gods people. When I played I played defense I was a defensive back I guarded the wide receiver and I did my job pretty good probably should have been a little bit better.

grader when football caught my interest, football was always a huge part of my family. Football impacted both my Mom and Dad’s side of the family, everyone was connected to football, whether they played the sport, cheered , or was their soon to be husband’s biggest fan. I come from a small city in the Rio Grande Valley. My city isn’t the largest there is but, this city made me the person I am today and I’ve made so many memories here so this city means the world to me. Growing up here, sports was a major part of my life. A majority of kids always slept in most weekends, but I always had practice or games on Saturdays. Sundays I was up early to attend church with my family.

High School has been a short journey full of challenging lessons, sophomore year tested my

High School has always been a difficult time for me. I had moved from Connecticut back to Cape Cod and knew nothing and noone here. It caused a lot of anxiety in mr to go somewhere new and start fresh. But the struggle to cope through school was much worse. The procrastination, bad grades and shy attitude made it almost impossible to get past my years and graduation.

It all started when I was about three years old when my good friend Anthony Williams and I became friends when he ran his bike into my sand box. Football has been an event in my life since I was three years old and it still is today. “The key to life is not what life gives to you but what you take from life. It’s not how life treats you but how you treat life. You have a choice in life. You can either thrive or survive.”_ Coach London. Football has made me into the person I am today, hard working, and determined.

As I matured, I began to have more respect for myself and looked at life from a different perspective.

My passion for the game of football went undiscovered until my senior year. I’ve played football for as long as I can remember. From playing flag football in third and fourth grade all the way up to my senior year of highschool, it has always been a part of my life. I always found myself doing something football-related, whether it be playing it with friends, watching it on TV, or playing it on the PlayStation. To me, football is a way of bonding with friends and family. This sport brings you closer as a team, and it’s a way of making memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Up until this point I was playing flag football for FNC. I was just a little kid running around grabbing flags, but I loved it. As long as I had a football in my hands I didn’t care what I was doing. I felt like I was The Flash every time I grabbed the ball and took off down the field. However, I knew I wanted more; to put on a helmet and shoulder pads and play real football.

My father is a big football fan and even wrote in my baby book that he hoped I would grow up loving the game as much as he does. Well his dream came true as I am a self proclaimed football junkie. A few months prior to my Freshman year of High School I announced I would be

I have participated in football since I was five years old. It is one of the rare activities that I truly love. The fascinating thing about football is that it instills innumerable qualities that can apply in everyday life, such as camaraderie, determination, and the significance of hard work. The value that I truthfully acclaim the hobby with teaching me is how to become an outstanding leader.
