Recommended: An essay about perseverance

I believe that in order to live life with a smile on your face, you have to have patience. I believe this because I have had to be patient. I am where I am in sports and life in general because I’ve been patient. Similar, in a way, to Aaron Rodgers. Patience to me is having the strength to wait out something. Most of the time it is some sort of hardship or set back. Take my life for example. I have not always been very good at football. When I first started out in sports I pretty much only played soccer. I didn’t really know what football was even though my dad was a huge fan. I stuck with soccer until I was about seven or eight years old. That is when my family moved to Florida. Because of that move I began to experience new things. The fields where I played soccer also had youth football going. I began to take interest so my mom signed me up for flag football. During my first year I was still learning the ground rules so I wasn’t exactly a breakout star. But in time I started to perfect my craft. So when tackle football rolled around, and I was old enough to play, the coaches started to take notice. …show more content…

It took him three years before he got his shot. Brett went down in a game and Aaron seized the opportunity. And boy, was it worth the wait. In 2008 he led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl win. After the 2010 season he was named Super Bowl’s most valuable player. And is on his way to the hall of fame. If he can wait three years of being over-shadowed by one of the greatest to play the game, there is no reason someone like you or me can’t make it big with a little

    Although he didn't carve out a starting role on the team until nearly half way through the season, he was an integral part of the Patriots offense. He put up five hundred and sixty-three receiving yards, averaging twelve-point-five yards per catch. The next year, Aaron became an even bigger part of the Patriots offense, recording nine hundred and ten receiving yards with seventy-nine receptions, averaging eleven-point-five yards per catch. He was rewarded with a five year contract extension for forty million dollars, with twelve-point-five million guaranteed at signing after the two thousand and eleven season. At the time, his signing bonus was the highest ever for a tight end. At this point the Patriots, along with the entire league, believed they had made a massive steal by drafting Aaron in the fourth round in two thousand and ten. He had been everything teams had expected him to be, excluding, of course, the behavior they believed would follow Aaron to the pros. He had been the opposite of a distraction actually.
