Track

I've been in track & field since the 6th grade, and it has been my number 1 passion for a long time! I mean, i never stop training for the upcoming seasons. The thrill i get before the sound of the gun, the thoughts that rush through my mind and i set my feet on those starting blocks, that's my drug. But, before a track meet, my stomach gets Nauseous, and i can't eat anything. I don't know why, but it happens. The events that i do are 300 hurdles, 110 hurdles, highjump, and 4x4. IT'S A BLAST! The 300 hurdles is my dread, as well as the the 4x4. Before you enter that last 100 meters, your legs cry out in pain. The pain that you begin to endure is beyond imagine. Your legs tell you to stop, to quit, to basically fall down on the floor and stay there. NO! I wont. For this determines what i got, what endurance i have, what dedication i have. I'm no quiter, i am not a loser. I WIN BABY! I might not finish 1st, or 2nd, or 3rd, but what i have in heart makes up for that. My passion keeps me going. Track is for true athletes, for those who believe that they have what it takes. The limit you are pushed to, the intensity that is experienced, you can't get that anywhere else. Either you go hard, or you go home. That's it. Bottom line. No ifs, ands, or buts. In the end, it's all up to you.
To this day i have accumalated 57 medals, and that count isn't going to stop any time soon.

My life in Football

I started playing football my junior year of highschool and let me tell you, it was the best experience of my life. Sure i was scared at first to go out for it becuase of my fear of highschool's typical jocks. I thought they would be judgemental and that they would harass me in so many different ways. But, as the season began, i found out something new. These guys weren't really what they were portrayed to be. They were actually helpful, and they were supportive really. The friendships that I made, the brotherhood of the team, the skills that i learned through the sport will leave with me. I am currently a senior in highschool, getting ready to graduate, and if i could do something over in higschool, anything at all, it would be that i join football beginning of my freshman year. Because i joined it junior year, i began at the JV level, which wasn't bad, but not much juniors play at the JV level. But, the competition, the aggressiveness on the field, the intensity of the game, it was all worth my time. To this day, i have no clue of how i made it through the 2 years. I mean, the training it took, the dedication and perspiration, the pain. MAN! I think to myself, "how did i possibly get through it?" I look back and i know that i did something worthwhile, something that i would look back and be proud of. Highschool football will alwayz be one of my most cherished moments of my 4 years.
