Personal Narrative: I Am Athlete

Decent Essays
The award I'm writing about is the “I Am Athlete” award. Last year my friend named Brent wouldn't stop saying “I Am Athlete”. Brent moved this year so I thought it would be good to write about something people remember him by. That way he isn't completely forgotten. It all started after we did the “I Am” thing in the hall. First we were given slips to put something about us on that could be said as “I Am”. One of the teachers were calling out groups to put their slips on the wall. I can't remember what I put but I remember how Brent got his “I Am Athlete” quote, I guess you can call it a quote. It was our class’ turn to go put our slips on the wall and Brent still didn't know what to put, so he asked everyone what he should put.

I also support with strengthening and conditioning, guidance in nutrition and sleeping, and I also make sure the playing area is safe”.

    Stepping into the gym on my first day of high school I was more nervous than any person could imagine. Me, a shy introvert wanting just to get in and out of high school and get to college, didn’t care for joining clubs or participating in after school activities. I walked into the brightly lit gym with bleach white walls and blue and green plastic bleachers and took a seat far away from any human life. Quietly keeping to myself I pulled out my phone and scrolled through Instagram pretending like I was doing something meaningful.…
