Personal Narrative: Lessons Learned In American Football

The doubts everyone has put on me was wrestling. My family doubted me because they were surprised that I did it. I disliked wrestling at first, I did it because of my brother. One day my brother comes back from practice and he was boasting on how he was good at it, this and that, I told him if I join it I probably can beat him, so he told the coach that I was going to be going to preseason from now on.

The only ones who believed in me were my coaches because on how fast I was learning JV. When we went to our first duel we faced two teams and we beat both of them. I lost my first match but I won my other two matches. Later in the season the Varsity Coach asked for me and he took me up in varsity and I was supposed to be just a practice partner

but one match on varsity they were surprised that I started to win varsity matches.

Yes I think so far I am becoming successful, my record at the moment for Varsity is four-four so for a freshman who has started this year is pretty good so far. Most of the freshman varsity wrestlers told me that they did not do too good there freshman year or at least as not as good as me. I felt happy to prove people wrong who didn’t believe in me because there was a lot who didn’t believe in me so, I had to try. I met a couple people who really helped me learn how to wrestle and brought me to a couple tournaments. I had to overcome a couple obstacles to help me achieve my goal and wrestling is not an easy sport. It helps me overcome anything that comes in my path.
