I want to be successful. I wish to go to college and have a career in one of my desired fields of study. A simple goal, yes, but not the easiest. In this age of technology I am not competing with simply just the individuals in my community, state, or even country. This is a global competition, we all want success. I however, am willing to work for it. Other individuals may have had a better start or more opportunities; but at the end of the day we’re competing for the same spot, positions, and scholarships. If life starts me 20 yards behind my competition then I will run 40 yards faster than my opponent. I strive to excel and refuse to fail. I will be successful, and football may just be my golden opportunity.
