The Influence Of The Hockey Community

242 Words1 Page

A community that I have belonged to since I was two years old is the hockey community. This community has had a tremendous influence on my character and has helped shaped me into who I am today. This community has taught me to be accountable for my actions and that hard work is the foundation for success. It has also taught me discipline and to have respect not only for my teammates, but also for others on and off the ice. I was taught to give back to others who are in need and especially to children, who ultimately see you as a role model. The hockey community is a family and everyone is not only committed to pursuing their own goals and dreams, but also committed to supporting yours as well. This sense of camaraderie is what drives happiness

    Throughout the hardships I faced throughout the season, the love of the game, the heart breaks, and the accomplishments and the goals I’ve achieved I’ve learned that I need to stay humble.
