Personal Narrative Essay About Football Practice

Improved Essays
Football practice. I hate football practice. So my friend suggested that we skip. At first I was all for it but later I had second thoughts. I had to decide to do what was right or conform to his pressure. When my friend and I got to school we felt tired and lazy. On our way to 1st period my friend and I were talking about how we did not want to do anything for the rest of the day. Then our friend Aaron came up to us and asked us if we were going to practice.
We both replied “Nope we are not gonna do anything for the rest of the day.” He tried to get us to practice, but we did not want to hear it. When I got to class I asked coach what we were going to do later at practice. “Probably conditioning to get you guys back in shape” replied Coach

After substituting in the end of the semi-finals, my coach pulled me aside and told me that I would be starting as middle linebacker for the final championship game.…
