I rather try and fail and learn from my failure than to not even try at all. Every failure is a lesson to be learned. There was one experience i had in football. It was my first year on the football team. My position in football is that i am a receiver. I am the one that catches the ball when the quarterback throws it. The team was going over these routes we had to run and the ball was thrown to us, but I kept dropping every football that was thrown to me because i was scared of getting hit.

    My sunburn lines between my shorts and socks symbolized the restless, tiring hours spent out on the field.
