Personal Statement: Why I Love Football

229 Words1 Page

I love football. I’ve always watched it. Even when I was little. My Dad told me that I would always sit and watch the entire game with him. This was around when I was 3 to 4 or five years old. My dad loves the patriots. And so do I. I guess that’s how I like the patriots. I never really played football. I’ve only played in fifth grade. But now my high school career has started. And I’m pretty good at it. However, our football team wasn’t very good. People at our school talk smack on our team for not being good. But they don’t see the hard work we put in practice. Why try out? For my future. I really want to make it far in football. I have goals for my sophomore season in football next year. I plan to be the #1 receiver this year. I have

    Football, an American pastime. It has become a tradition for families to gather in local stadiums on Fridays, or around the television on Sundays to watch athletes compete against each other in a game of athleticism and brute strength.

    From what I can remember, football has become a Sunday ritual in my family since I was a kid. Growing up in the Northeast, we lived a couple hours from Shea Stadium in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, New York. Being the playing ground for the New York Jets 1964 to 1983, now the New York Jets play at MetLife Stadium, in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

    I will never forget that encounter the intense sun, the endless horizon, the infinite shades of blue that dissolved any boundary between sky and trees. The views were like swimming into a kaleidoscope, deceptively plain "Lake Winaukee" sign on the outside, but a show of colors on the inside, waiting to shock and, mesmerize me. Those colors!

Spending all of my free days for thirteen years running after a soccer ball is arguably what made me into the person I am today.
