How Sports Have Impacted Me

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
