Reflective Essay: The Last Person To Pick In Football

Improved Essays
I used to be the last person to be picked in football every time, even the really bad players got picked before me, I didn't think about it much at all so i didn’t understand why i was not picked first because I thought I was pretty good and should have been the first or second pick not the last. I was good, but no one really knew me except Yaachie because I missed out on signing up for football the summer of the year before. they thought I was the worst person there and It made me angry. Then the kicked off was returned for a touchdown. I felt pretty good, then we kicked off I brought the returner down at the sixteen. After that Yaachie got a pick six, again another stopped kick returning they got a deep pass in the open on my teammate’s guy and broke his tackle so I tackled him down in the red zone, then i changed …show more content…
now I get picked in the third overall pick most of the time. Before that first game yaachie told me just because someone thinks your bad doesn’t mean that you actually are and that is what made me play so good. Then next time we played I got picked in the second because Yaachie was the captain of the team that picked me so I was happy I was on Yaachie’s team again so they kicked off and i returned it to the fifty then I blocked for Yaachie and he got the first down. There was a packer fan there and I told the quarterback to throw to me, so he did and i caught it and knocked him over and I was tackled down by their free safety after I knocked him over.i wasn’t doing as good because of that tackle it was a very good

    Some of my successes in life include winning baseball tournaments, getting voted into the allstars in my baseball league, being the youngest kid in colorado to get his license to hunt, and firing a 306 when i was 6 without my arm falling off. My 1st success in baseball was when i was 7 years old and my team was losing the championship game by 2 points, so when i got up to bat there was a guy on 3d base and on 2nd, we already had 2 outs so if i got out we lost the game here.

    It was a brisk fall evening with the sun just about to set behind a hill. I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium.
