I am very grateful for my parents and everything they have done for me throughout my life so far, whether it is mentally or physically. Realizing how I had to change in order to succeed in academics and sports has so far changed how I think. The football field is where I get relieved of stress. I can take my anger out when I play and take my mind off the outside stress. I believe my past self would be proud of how I have emotionally and physically changed. Helping and giving attention to those who need my help makes me feel like I know what I am doing, and people look up to me as a good person.
