Recommended: Importance of a role model as a youth

Did you know by having a role model can help you in the future? What helped me in the future was having an older brother who graduated and did good stuff in his life. He played football and had lots of scholarships offered to him, but he didn’t take the offers. He also had a job and a truck he paid for. So I think he is a good role model to follow up to, because he has nothing but positive things in his life. The positive things in his life made these events in my life important: hunting by myself, buying a tuck, and playing football.
The first time I went hunting by myself I felt scared because I didn’t know what is in the woods I hunt. I hunt a tree line with corn up and you don’t know what hides in the corn so I got scared and was ready for anything. Now when I go out I’m ready for anything that comes at me in the field or woods. This happening to me made me a better hunter when it comes to my surroundings. Knowing your surroundings is a good thing because you will know …show more content…

My brother was a good football player and I would like to be as good as he was and that’s going to take a lot of practice to do that. I told him I want to play and have him come down and watch me play and he said he would do that. When he told me he would come down and watch me play I felt excited. Football has made me a better person in school because it motivates me to keep my grades up. When I joined the team people have been nicer to me when I’m on the team then when I wasn’t on the team.
With these events happening in my life it has made me a better person. Like me hunting by my self made me know my surroundings better. Buying a truck takes responsibility better than I have been. Playing football made me tougher than I was before I joined the team and getting my grades. An older brother to look up to is a good thing for me. He has done a lot of good things in his life and I’m going to follow his

    The things that impact you can be bad or good, depending on your situation and how severe they were to you personally. I’ve been through many hardships and great things. Things like, being beaten as a child, raped, enduring racism, placed into the system and taken back out after a year or so, dropped out of college, overall failed at life so far; Went to a job where I worked hard, learned things about life, working hard, and that you can get more out of life if you want it, you can get more, you can be more, that there is an upside to every bad situation, and that other people are just that, real people. These things that have happened to me personally have shaped a lot of my personality and my outlook on life. Things that make you realize that other people go through events and have issues I believe are the things that make you an adult. This event for me was when I was working at EPB and really went through life every day with people of so many different ages and seeing the very real things that trouble them and let them enjoy things.

    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

    Playing football has given me the opportunity to meet new people and make new friendships that will last a lifetime. Those friendships are made in the hot summer workouts, when everyone is tired, hot, and thinking about giving up, teammates are right by their side motivating them.

Teammates unite together and remind each other that if everyone works together, everything will fall into place. A good team involves also being in good physical shape. Players are banged up and have little annoying pains, but that doesn’t stop a good team so the conditioning doesn’t stop.
