Junior Year Highl...Example of my spe...Personal Statement
The football field has always been a place for me to release. I always tell people that whenever I hit the football field, no matter what I am going through, I am able to put my problems aside and just work on the thing that I love to do the most... play the sport of football. The best aspect of football is the lifelong brotherhood I have been able to create with my teammates. Having the ability to form a brotherhood with an entirely new locker room is something I am ecstatic about doing at the next level. I am truly excited about the opportunities that football is currently creating for me academically. I always shrugged off the candid remarks people made to me about the ability to use you football as a tool to receive an elite level education, but now, entering the end of my high school career, I am fully realizing the opportunities that football is presenting to me. Football is a beautiful game, and I will be truly blessed if I am able to play it at the next level.
