Sports are a big part of my life and I want to make a career out of sports because they mean so much to me for many reasons.

How Sports Have Impacted Me
personal

I remember being a kid watching football and basketball. As I got older I began watching college and professionals sports. I used to go to plenty of high school games of all kinds just because I have a love watching people put on a show with their amazing talent. I love the competitive aspect of al sports and the will to go to any measure to win.

I have always been a guy that says to never give up in any activity you do because that reflects who you are and you should always give your best effort. Sports have always been a big part of my life and any time I played on a team, I made sure to be the best version of myself for my teammates, but most importantly myself. However, I do not see myself as a talented athlete to be a professional, but being around sports is a must for me.

Playing sports for teams or just for fun has always made my life better. They make me happy because I enjoy playing them, but I also enjoy performing well and contributing. I feel playing sports with friends or teammates has taught me how to work together with others and come together as a group to win. It teaches you that you should have each other back and never feel alone when playing. I feel sports bring people together and make them prepare for future endeavors.

I decided I wanted to become a sports journalist because I would get paid to do something I love because happiness is the key. Watching sports always helps cheer me up when I'm sad, because I just love the entertainment factor and the unique stories that each player carries with them. I am not sure what sport I want to cover or where I want to work, but I do know that traveling around the world to cover sports games and events is a dream. Being able to meet so many players and fans would be a big part of the journey and make it all the more worth it when I hear their stories.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
