Personal Statement
I want to become a known football player. So many people tell me I'm too small to play and I stink. I am 4ft 11in and 90 lbs, so I am pretty small. At one time, I believed them. But I am determined. Very determined. October 24, 2012, my gym class seen how to work some workout machines. We worked out for the rest of the class, 45 minutes, and I didn't because I am afraid people will make fun of me because how small I am. So, I just ran on a treadmill for the rest of the time. My dreams were crushed in 7th grade because people called me weak and tiny constantly. But I still work my hardest at football because I love it. It is a passion, an escape for me. But people still TRY to put me down because I am faster than most of the players. People try to hurt me or try to make me quit. But I believe football is my sport. I stick to it except for the year I was recovering from my fractured shoulder blade. Once I seen this, I sprinted everywhere I went and worked out at night, and I drink protein shakes. This gave me hope. Hope that I can make myself a known football player.
