Blessing

Blessing-

I have learned many life-long lessons outside the walls of my classrooms. Setting goals is a huge part of being successful. I set a goal to be the best soccer play at my school, and it happened. I set a goal to maintain a 4.00 GPA over my high school years, and it happened. I made it a priority in my life to set goals and reach for great things, whether that is in a classroom or not. This mindset has set me in the direction of success.

Playing sports has taught me so much in life. I was the captain of my high school team and learned many lessons. Many of my teammates had no desire to win or give their best; I saw this and would get very upset. I see no point in doing anything in life without giving all I have. Satisfaction comes from leaving everything I have on the field and knowing I did all I could. Leading in a sport is connected with leading in all aspects of life. Leaders do what is needed, they don’t watch someone else step up and finish the task. I bring this value to college and every other area of my life.
