Personal Statement
There are many things that are important to me in life: my family, my friends, my home. One of the most important things in my life is football. This sport has done more things for me than I could ever realize. Football has helped me form friendships and spend time on the couch with my family. Through playing the sport, I have realized that it has taught me meaningful life lessons. I have played the game since I was five and have poured my blood, sweat and tears into it. After playing for approximately ten years, football has taught me that respect must be earned. Through my years of playing football, I have enjoyed being a teammate to others and seeing where my piece of the puzzle fits in. There is no greater bond than the ones that you have with your brothers out on the field. I want nothing more than to be able to continue my journey with the game for another 4 years of my life.
