Ever since I was a kid, I have always liked hockey. It didn't matter what type of hockey, ice hockey, inline hockey, street hockey, I would go out and try to play. Usually there were never kids around that were my age that wanted to play every day, so I had to play with my older brother and his friends. Playing with kids that were four and sometimes six years older than me, forced me to compete and try harder than I would have been if I were playing kids my own age. I think this is why I am so competitive now. Being competitive can be a good characteristic to have when going into college. Not every student is an athlete in college, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be competitive. You can be competitive in many more areas than just sports;
