Personal Narrative: My First High School Football
As I was staring up into the sky, screaming in pain and I’m holding my knee close to my chest, all I could think about was not about my knee, but my family, friends, and coaches.
I remembered before the game that my teammates and I were on one knee holding hands in the locker room, saying the “Our Father” with confidence. As we were saying the prayer, I came to think that this will be my last first high school football game ever, I’ve worked so hard to get to this point. My family and friends and coaches pushed me so hard to get to the level I’m at, and I was finally here. The biggest game of my life was right now, against the toughest team out there. I was going to give a name to myself.
But the one thing I didn’t think about, the one thing …show more content…
As soon as I chose to beat this and that I’ll get through it just fine, that’s when everything changed. I realized that everything happens for a reason, and to simply never question God’s plan because he will always give you what he thinks is best, and he will never take something away from you without replacing it with something better. Ever since I played football, especially in high school, my grades had just been average. I really worked hard to get the grades I knew I could get but I just didn’t have the time to, I used to put no effort towards them. But my senior year, without having football in my life, my grades increased rapidly. I had time and motivation to study for my SAT’s, and my results came back and I couldn’t have been more proud of myself. I got the news that I was going to Slippery Rock University and I was so relieved because I was always a little scared and anxious about getting into a college I wanted to go to with my grades. My relationship with my parents and siblings were back on track, and really I was just finally happy again. Everything turned out to be great, and I’ve learned a lot from what happened to me. I learned that positive thoughts give you positive outcomes, and all negativity does is brings you
