Personal Narrative: Back To Back

Decent Essays
Last Thursday I had a chance to play on one of my friends flag football team called “ Back to Back”. The game started at eight pm, so got there a minute after eight. The first thing I noticed while playing Flag football was how different it was from regular football. I played regular ball for about ten years and it felt a whole lot easier than flag. Refraining from creating contact is way harder than how it sounds. I got about three flags for stiff arming, pressing, and running into someone; which I still believe where all bad calls. Once you start getting a hang of all the rules, the game actually becomes fun and competitive. We played a pretty good game that day, only because I started QB. It came down to the wire and “Back to Back” ended

    The difference between flag and tackle football will describe the level of an athlete I was before getting into high school to play football. I was determined to be taught, learn, and listen to become the best I can be. To continue doing what I loved, I knew that I would have to take that leap into tackle football, but I was scared and overwhelmed. Throughout my life, I was always seen as one of the most athletic people when it came to any sport that was being played. Because of this, I was used to being the star player on all the teams I played on.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

Many people in my family had issues with substance abuse and addictions including my father. Although, I was raised by my mother and grandmother, my father’s actions and behaviors negatively impacted my life.

    Consequently, we did not win this game; but, I was forced to take on an underdog mentality. I thought about this game the other day and realized how much of a turning point that was in my life. My personality changed from passive to more confident and strong-willed. No longer was I somebody to hide in the shadows or be in the back of the crowd. I now truly believe in myself and that I could do anything that I put my mind to.…

    Thankfully, we ended up coming back late in the game and we finally got that win that we so desired. This situation made me realize how much I had learned from the sport of football. Being part of a team means that every player is held accountable, and when one fails to do his part, it affects the entire team. In football, there is a certain camaraderie that is hard to find anywhere else. I know that my teammates and I will always have each other's back, on and off the field.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
