High school is a very unique chapter of life that allows people to grow and express themselves. People do this in many different ways such as taking prestigious classes, participating in clubs, sports, music groups, and a variety of other activities. I made the decision for myself to participate in sports throughout my high school journey and I could not be happier at the achievements we have made through teamwork over the past four years.

I know that sports has brought out the leader in me above all other organizations that I have been a part of. As a junior I would see soon see playing time on the court and start on the football field but before that I felt the need for our team to have a larger purpose larger than itself. I started a prayer ministry with our football team before every practice and game which truly unified our team in a new way. I earned a starting spot at left tackle where I would face new challenges at not only doing my part but helping to coach up underclassmen that would one day fill my role. Over the last two years I have had the opportunity to help lead a football team into two state title games and win one. This is one of my greatest milestones and I look back and think about my dumb decision to not play football my freshman year. I will always regret this decision but I will also always remember the hard work that I put in every day of practice to achieve all state honors as a three year player. I hope that the way I lead with my actions and words will help to bring continued success to Monroe City High for years to come. High school sports bring out the best and the worst of everyone. Playing Football, Basketball, Track and Field, and Baseball throughout school has promoted exponential growth in my life. Without sports I would not have learned the skills of dedication, communication, and leadership. I am going to carry all of these attributes throughout the rest of my life thanks to high school
