Why Football Is Important To Me

One major experience that has shaped me as a person would be the decision to join FFA my freshman year. FFA has allowed me many incredible opportunities and experiences these past four years.

There have been many monumental and influential experiences in my life, but the most impactful on my life would have to be acquiring the opportunity to start as a quarterback during my sophomore year of highschool. A quarterback is a player who is positioned behind the center, who directs a team’s offensive play. The quarterback is the leader of the football team. To be able to be a leader at a young age is a very valuable asset to have. I discovered at a young age that only because something does not appear to be good, does not mean that it can not become good.

We donated our time to a charity during the fall, the JROTC program decided to do the Mana Cafe to help those in need. It was a food drive and people would help gather food together to deliver it to families that needed it for the winter. Everyone was pitching together and doing their part to get the food together and in the people’s car. Even in the cold weather, everyone was having fun, knowing that they were doing excellent in their hearts. Therefore that day families were allowed to eat despite their economic struggle and all as a result of the service we did to help them.

An experience that has made a profound impact on my life was when I directed and completed a community service project to fulfill a requirement for the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America. In order to competently act as coordinator for this service project, I had to develop both my interpersonal communication and leadership capabilities to a proficient level. Besides improving my professional skills, this project gave me the opportunity gain hands on experience working with groups of people who had varying skill levels. So, not only did these skills allow me to complete the project successfully, they have also proven incredibly useful throughout my academic career.

An experience that has provided me with the most growth as a person is my involvement in mentoring an at-risk teen in Athens, GA for 3 years. Mentoring has improved my leadership and interpersonal skills. It kept me accountable to living at a higher standard in order to be a positive role model for another person. I also developed a greater appreciation for diversity from spending time with a person from a culture much different from my own. Overall this experience instilled a passion for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, social status, gender, or age. A genuine interest for others motivates me to learn more about human behaviors and pursue a career in counseling. Another experience I have that has provided me with opportunities to grow and improve is my experience as an intern at Jay’s Hope Foundation. The Jay’s Hope Foundation offers many different avenues of support to children diagnosed with cancer and their families. I was able to be in direct contact with families facing life-threatening situations. It was a very emotionally heavy internship, but I learned so much and was encouraged by the resiliency of the children and families. At Jay’s Hope, I learned the importance of teamwork, I developed flexibility, I became more organized, and I gained more confidence in my ability to

One club season I would get piercing shin guard burns. I tried creams, shin guard covers, ice, new shin guards, everything! Nothing would help from the blistering, peeling burns on my shins. Any time I would shift leg positions it felt like bees were stinging my shins. This happened the whole season until I found that if I applied lotion before the game then put shin guard covers underneath my shin guards the blistering would cease. The burns, cuts, bruises, aches and pain were always worth it to play the sport I loved.

This is an experience I never thought I would have but it’s important because It helped me change as a person and to not take things for granted and work hard to achieve things you want my thoughts about school changed because I remember complaining about getting homework even though it's only a few hours of homework but now I know things could be much worse and that I am happy that I only have four homework assignments instead of ten I learned a life lesson that if you work hard enough you can achieve

It was my spring break and the weather outside at 6am was wet with wind chills in the 30s. Snow had covered all our supplies and lay as a thick blanket atop our pile of two by eights. This was the first time I had ever seen snow and my first experience with a sawzaw. Our mission trip this year had brought us to Floyd County, Kentucky to help rebuild homes for those who live in areas that are considered to have some of the highest poverty rates in the nation. The people here do not have much, so they were very grateful that we were able to come out and provide them with the help they needed in stabilizing their homes after the rough winter. I was working on a home belonging to Porty, a man responsible for providing for his family of eight when he became disabled after a back injury in the mines years prior. We had gotten a few chances to talk while I was there and he spoke with such enthusiasm of how truly grateful he was that we were helping his family. It was towards the end of the week and we had sat down for a moment, and while I was sitting on the floor playing with his granddaughter, he thanked me. It was such a simple moment, but my spirits were lifted and I realized that I was making a difference with my involvement here. It might be a small contribution in the scheme of it all but it

Talk about my life gets me a little difficult, I am a very sporty person, all my life I've exercised football as activity of work could call that my profession getting is great achievements such as playing for my country, representing my country abroad also play long 10 years in or one of the soccer team of Chile.

Also I'm learning a new League which today I do not command it with large capacity but it is my

Once there was A boy named Matthew Sanders. Matthew went by the nickname GOAT. Matthew loved to play football, As a 6 foot 9inch QB in football Matt was really good at his position. Matt was very tall and very scary. Matt and his best friend Colt Stafford both played football for the 12th grade team at their high school. Colt is A WR on the same team as Matthew. Colt was just above 6foot and was very popular. On the Day before there last game of the season Matt and Colt haven’t talked for almost a month because of A argument they had. Matt was on his way to practice and he was having trouble starting his car. Colt had texted Matt in curiosity wanting to know where he had been saying he was late to practice. Matt had responded with “come get

Every major holiday like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter etc. we go to my grandparents on my dad's side of the family in Saybrook, IL. At first when you get there unless you're late: dinner is getting cooked and will be done in about 30 minutes. That will give you time to talk to other family that you haven´t seen in awhile. Usually when I get there I hang out with my cousins, The youngest of the group, Dakota, the middle two of the group me and Ethan, and the oldest of the group, TT. When I come in the door, I prefer to sit down for 5 mins, even though I was sitting in a car for 40 mins and I will find them or at least try to and I bring the football every year and we have a game of 2 v. 2 football and me and Ethan are on a team most of the

Football is important in my life in many ways. It makes me happy when I’m sad, I can take out my anger, I’m not worrying about school when I’m playing it. It also makes me better at my running and throwing. Football has made me a better team player over the years since I started in first grade. Football has made me want to grow up, play for Michigan State, and eventually play for the Detroit Lions and win a National Championship, and a Super Bowl, I want to be either a corner, a half back, or a tight end for both of them.

There are very few people who watch sports as much as I do. In fact, sporting events are awesome in my book. I love the action that is required to play every game. Whether I am attending the games or just watching them on television, I am just as mesmerized by the excitement. But, even though I watch a lot of different sports, my favorite sport is football. I like football because of the perils of play, team effort and skill involved in the game.

Everyone has something that he or she loves to do. Some people get their share of fun by playing music, and others by hiking up steep mountains. Me? I have fun by enjoying sports. Sports are something that bring millions of people together and are also a phenomenal teacher of many things, one being loyalty. The same cannot be said for anything else. I believe that sports bring the world together unlike anything else ever could.

Šta nas, šta mene, toliko privlači posmatranju igre dvadeset dvojice odraslih ljudi koji jure za kožnim mehurom? Zašto toliko energije žrtvujemo u rasprave, sukobe, svađe u vezi sa tom neobičnom delatnošću?
