Personal Narrative: NCAA Recruiting

When David Charles Johnson was a child, he wanted to become a professional football player. He always wanted to become a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. As his parents raised him in Madison, Wisconsin, they encouraged him to try new things and would push him to do his best. David had a lean build with dark-brown hair and blue eyes. He participated in multiple sports, but he enjoyed baseball and football the most. In both sports, he enjoyed the throwing aspects of each game. He enjoyed pitching in baseball and being a quarterback in football. When high school arrived and David was a sophomore, he decided that he only wanted to play baseball and football. He and his parents decided it would be better for him to focus on his academics

First, I walked through the gates and smelled the great food and could see the amazing field. Then, we had to find the suite where my friend’s dad’s business had bought for their employees for the game. We had to climb a ton of stairs to get to our seats because they were way high

I could be considered a hidden figure because I am a multi-faceted individual. I have a passion for learning and recalling information. For example, I have been the team captain for my Black History Quiz Bowl team which competes for 6-8 hours, Jeopardy style against other schools. I initiate contact with my school advisers and study groups outside of school hours. Other academic talents include continuous A-Honor Roll, scoring 5/5 in every subject for the state End of Grade testing. I was selected as the highest academic achiever in the 4th grade, thereby receiving honors and recognition at the UNC and Duke Football game as “All Star Achiever.” My next hidden talent surfaced as I attended an amazing summer camp at Clemson University. I built

November 8. In appreciation of my brother, I wore his favorite team’s t-shirt for the Tennessee

Walking into the stadium, was like a kid walking into a candy store for the first time. It was incredible, from the field to the seats, I loved it all. I was amazed at the size of the field in real life. I couldn’t believe it, I was actually there. We took our seats and waited for the game to start. I sat in the seat that my Poppy had always sat in. He had died almost 2 years earlier and sitting in his seat made me feel more connected to him. The game started and that crowd was electric. Being around other fans made me even more excited and energized. Adding to that feeling even more, was the fact that the Patriots won 55-31.Throughout the game, I kept looking up, down and around to fully absorb the environment around me. It was one of the greatest experiences of my

It was any other Ole Miss basketball game. I had gotten my box of popcorn and a huge, cold, fizzy coca-cola. I was in the same seat I always was, between my sister and my dad, and I had the same humongous guy sitting right in front of me. Even though I was only 7 and wasn’t actually sure what was going on, I still wanted to see what was happening! Of course, I wasn’t going to ask this person to move, I had no idea who he was but, that didn’t last much longer.

It was just another school night in the seventh grade. Our recreational tackle football team had a practice at 730pm until 9. It was a very swampy night and from that I felt myself very sluggish. At the time, I was a backup running back. I was always left on the sidelines facing the chills of the cold wind during games. I typically didn’t get to see much playing time on the field, but that night I got my opportunity. I was receiving kicks during a punting audition and all I was doing was catching the ball and throwing it back, nothing unique. One throw after another, my coach began to praise my arm strength. Seeing me pass the ball was a true eye-opener. That night, I went from a backup running back, to the starting quarterback of my rec

With a score of 44 to 37, the Varsity Football Team won against the Midway Panthers last Friday night at Waco.

I was so nervous for the game that my insides felt like I just did 50,000 circles on a roller coaster. My seats were so neat because I was at a high enough point to see the whole city.

First off you should have a little buzz from the beer you drunk at the tailgate so that puts you in advantage amongst other fans that didn’t tailgate. You want to make sure you packed your ticket and arrive at least 45 minutes to an hour before kickoff is schedule so that you can find your seats and get the last minute snack runs you need before kickoff. Make sure you bring the nosiest objects, your foam fingers and very loud voice with you when kickoff arrives. A college football is all about the energy of the crowd, the energy of the crowd can have an influence on your fellow collagens and help them pull a major upset. You as a stupid can never be too loud, there is only not loud enough when it comes to football

It was a cold, windy afternoon a couple days before we were leaving to fly down to Florida. I was so thrilled to get away from the bitter Midwest. I was thinking in my room and thought about heading to Toronto Blue Jays game over the summer to see my favorite player, Jose Bautista. Jose Bautista has been one of my favorite players for a couple years, and I just really wanted to see him in person. I asked my mom about heading to one and she actually looked up a game to go to, but for Spring Training. It turns out that we found there Spring Training ballpark was just a little over two hours from where we were staying the Florida. My mom and I talked more and more about going to a game, and then it turned out that my mom purchased us each a ticket

I am at the Hillsborough Raiders Varsity Football Championship game, and the date December 6, 2015. My parents are in the stands, but I am not, I am in the football players locker room because I am the starting wide receiver on the Raiders. Everyone on my football team calls me the star of the team, but I don’t know why. I am just Vedant Chintawar, a 14-year-old Indian with brown skin, with a staggering height of 6’2. somewhat strong, glasses and with black hair, who loves football. I am the average C student, barely passing my classes. I love the New York Jets, work at Modell’s to get free items for football, and I am the best Freshman in the United States. Other people would also describe me as nice, and friendly to everyone.

We have our first game against one of our rivals. We all played a great game, linemen knocking the defense around, running backs running right through their defense, and our defense shutting them down and kept them to one score. All coaches and players were pumped up and excited after starting the year strong.

Quo the confetti, the screaming fans, the jumping and cheering. This moment, I never thought would happen, I ran out of my house and down to Lancaster Avenue. The street was closed, and already around two hundred people were screaming and cheering. The news was already there live streaming the celebration and the excitment. Not only was this a win for VIllanova but a win for Philadelphia and a huge win for my family who has been fans forever.

Instead of feeling pressure to conform as a student at the University of Georgia, I have found that being in college has made me value the importance of a higher education more so than I ever had before. During high school, my primary goal was to play well enough to receive a football scholarship. At that time, my focus was not on academics. However, since I've arrived at the University of Georgia, my entire concept of the value of a college degree has slowly changed. Rather than seeing just football in my future, I can now picture myself as a football player with a college degree. Consequently, instead of having a negative impact on my personal growth, college has helped me broaden as a person.
