Football Field Reflection

Improved Essays
To me, places are not very important therefore I generally do not have fond memories associated with places that I have been to. If there was a place I would be fond of; it would probably be a football field. This is because now that I understand the sport a bit better I feel at home playing on the field. I started a little late on football, being as my first year was my eighth grade year, and I had no idea what I was even doing; and it did not help that the coaches did not make a playbook which made it a lot harder to memorize the plays and even with a playbook this year I still failed to memorize them but it was passing plays I could not memorize mostly.

I do remember though that it was awesome to start a game and I hope to do it

From that point on all I did was softball, it was my safe place, my other home and the one thing I knew I could do something great in. I would always want to just throw with my dad or my brother, as little as I was I wanted to show them that I could catch the hard balls they threw. Of course though, I couldn’t but I was in the process of getting there.…

Palmetto Ridge High School (A.K.A. “The Ridge”) is a grade 9-12 school located in Naples, Florida.

    I was playing lacrosse on a warm spring day in Glen Ellyn. I could feel my adrenaline spike, accompanied by my heart beating out of my chest. We finally had the ball on our side. The first place team that happened to be our school’s arch nemesis, had selfishly kept the ball to themselves so far. Every second we had possession was precious as we knew the opportunities to score would be few.…
