“A house is made of walls and beams… A home is made of love and dreams,” (William Arthur Ward). As teammates, we are brothers on that field, and we have to put everything out on that field together.

When we step onto that football field, nothing else matters except the man to your left and right.When those lights come on at the football field, everyone is focused in on one object and that is to win.

It seems like a war out there because both teams are battling for every yard they get. The game is dead even, but we have the ball with a minute to go. We march down the field slowly, but with effect. We only have ten seconds to go, and we are at the twenty yard line. Everyone is quiet because they know that this will determine the game. Our quarterback lets the ball fly, and time just seems to slow down. The wide receiver jumps for the ball, and he somehow catches it.
