Finally, I’m home after a full week of tryouts. One full week of hard work and lots of soreness. I just sat in front of the computer screen. I had dinner there and watched T.V from there. I was just waiting the moment for coach to put up the numbers of the people who had made the team online. I was nervous but confident, I felt that I tried my best and gave it all I could and actually felt like coach liked me. Especially because after the last session he said, “Great job. I see your passing and shooting are really good and I like that.” When I heard those words come out of his mouth I felt that I had automatically made the soccer squad. So five came around….. No numbers posted. Six……. No numbers posted. Seven…….. No numbers posted. Eight…….

  • Personal Narrative: My First Year On Varsity Football

    Malcolm X once said, “There is no better than adversity. Every defeat; every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time.” I stared closely at the scoreboard, watching the seconds count down. I grasped that I would not be playing in this game or the next, or the one following that. This season would be a learning experience, an experience that would strengthen my mind and spirit. My first year on varsity soccer was truly a challenge. I struggled for the first time in my soccer career and faced many difficult obstacles, along the way. The season began, and I was immediately labeled as a “reserve” player. I was a bench warmer and a useless substitute, who had minimal playing time.

    But 1 week before the tryout I heard that this year its only going to be a 1 day tryout. That made me very nervous because I thought if there was only 1 day the coach would basically have his team pictured out. When tryout came I felt like I did way better then last year and that night I couldn’t go to sleep because I was just thinking about if I was going to make the team. I still remember they posted the result in 2nd hour when I was in history class. All my friends told me that they posted the result and when I went and checked I didn’t see my name on there.

I wasn’t planning on getting cut, I walked into the tryout overwrought, nothing could stop me from being on the team.

    Tryouts are an athlete’s least desired activity, including my own. They make me fearful which ultimately developed through self-doubt. Doubt that I am not experienced enough, fast enough, or skilled enough. Yet, at the time of soccer tryouts, on Tuesday, July 28th, 2015, I felt none of these emotions. With my team’s prior success, we promoted to a higher level, overall boosting the morale of my team. As captain, players of my team unanimously voted that I would receive one of the 18 spots on the 2015-2016 team. Tryouts, the one critical factor, stood between that team and me. Transformation and triumph then came into my soccer career, but only after a period of failure.

    This last weekend, I was presented with the opportunity to return home. My trip back to my house is just over one hour. Since it is so close, I have made this drive multiple times during my career at Wheaton College. On my way back, I realized that I was in country that was unfamiliar to me.

Then I realized what had happened in the time that I had been gone. Farmland had disappeared due to the introduction of a new subdivision in the area. A wooded lot had disappeared in

    Arnold Schwarzenegger once stated, “strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength”. Although Schwarzenegger may be one of the most widely known people in the world, his message is still true for every single person. I abhor hardships and difficult situations, but this quote makes me rethink my logic of difficulty. Schwarzenegger portrays the meaning that success can sometimes blind a person. Strength is not forged from winning, rather, it is fashioned from the trails prior to the accomplishment. Every struggle someone may face, only builds their strengths and abilities. Just being capable to perceiver through a struggle is a form
