My Journey On The Football Field For years the green grass of my local football field was where I spent my days with friends and family. Standing alongside my cheerleaders as I screamed for my brother was my favorite pass time. Every moment that I stepped onto the white lines on the football field felt like walking on the path of maturity. I learned countless lessons that my teachers in school could not teach me through boring lectures and useless homework. Every day that I spent on the football field I leaned a little bit more about myself as the hours passed by me like water moves down the river. I learned that I had a passion for dancing and tumbling. My long term memory grew as I learned each cheer move, dance, or performance that I had …show more content…

Many of the memories are when my friends and I would make silly little jokes in between cheers and practice. One particular memory that is an honorable one is when I won homecoming queen. That year I had been working hard because I wanted the praise from my mother and the coaches, but I mostly wanted to win at the competition that was soon arriving. Through my dedication and hard work, I had ended up winning homecoming queen for my division and I was extremely happy. A soft breeze had gone through the field as the crown was placed upon my head and I smelled the freshly cut roses that they had handed me. It was a wonderful experience that I will forever cherish. To this day I look at my crown for a reminder of what my hard work will bring me. Another memory that I fondly remember is the time that my niece tried to cheer with me. She had admired my dedication and the way I carried myself through each cheer move so much that she would stand behind the gate and try to copy my movements. On this particular day, the cheer president thought it was extremely cute what my niece was doing and decided to bring her in. My niece already had a tiny jersey that had my brother’s number on it and she walked over to me and my friends made a space right next to me and that's where she stayed. My niece spent the whole game right next to me and was cheering for me while we performed our half time

  • How Has Football Shaped Me

    I honestly believe without football I would not have an identity since it played a crucial role in shaping me into the caring, smart, and passionate person I am today. Before football you could not pinpoint the difference between the herds of people who did not have a care in the world and myself. Ever since the 6th grade I frequently arrived to school tardy, got into multiple fights for no apparent reason, and often received disappointing grades; these bad habits became a daily routine that derived from the fact that I did not know any better. After being raised by parents who did not finish high school and never stressed the importance of school, I had no one to instill a moral compass within me. Anyways, at the beginning of my 7th grade year I was messing around in my Physical Education class when suddenly a football coach

    Each game, my passion grew. Each team, new memories and lifelong friends were made. Sports sometimes make me feel disappointment and at loss; but it taught me to be resilient to a lot of things, like how to thrive under pressure and come out on top.

    The entire week was memorable but the last night we had for All-State was the most memorable to me. It was a Friday night in the big city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, when the stadium lights were shining down on Tulsa Union’s football field. The football players, trainers, and cheerleaders were at the stadium before anyone else. As I began to walk on the football field with my black Muller trainer bag around my body like a purse, I realized not everyone has had a chance like this. I was very proud to be able to stand on that field with other athletes from different high schools that were very vigorous in football. Before the game started, the west side trainers filled up the water and Gatorade coolers. Then we began preparing the football players by taping their ankles and wrists. The crowd started showing up in the stands and eventually we got introduced before the game started. By the end of the game there were no injuries in the game and the west side I had lost. When the trainers started packing the equipment we used during the game, there was an injury in the stands. The lady had broken her
