Born and raised in America, as a Sikh, I have been on a quest to hold my own and fit into society in this "Melting Pot.” The early stages of my life took place in Rockville, where I only went to elementary school until third grade to attend Wayside Elementary school. Afterwards, I attended Hoover middle school and eventually Churchill High School. Churchill is where I joined a program that has shaped me into the man I am today. I tried out for football and got cut freshmen year. However, with motivation I made the team sophomore year and went on to become a captain senior year. With football, I gained both physical and mental toughness, and developed a resilient personality. The principles I learned in football apply in life as well; it’s the same game, just a different field.

I love your ending line of the blog! Congratulations on making captain last year, that's fabulous. I love success stories, especially yours. Giving up wasn't an option and look where it landed you. I had the same experience in high school. I tried out for cheer leading as a freshman with minimal experience and I made alternate. I made the team in my sophomore year, and now I'm a flyer for the competitive team on campus!
ReplyDeleteWe rock! Great to meet you!
I think through sports people can gain both physical and mental toughness, and I really like your last sentence of the blog too! "Same game, different field." Cool!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm glad you didn't give up in football and look how you turned out! You became captain of the team, which is absolutely amazing. I honestly was fascinated by your writing and I just love your writing style.

ReplyDeleteI can completely relate to what you mean about putting drive and commitment into getting where you want to be in life. I started playing basketball in middle school, and as the shortest person on the team, I received very little playing time. Regardless, I stuck with the sport and by senior year I played as the starting point guard and received MVP 3 years in a row. If you want to get anywhere in life, you have to be committed.
ReplyDeleteLike Churchill used to say"Young Men, never give up. Never" There's always an obstacle on our road that leads to changing live. Great story. you just motivate me.
ReplyDeleteIt;'s great to see that you became captain for your team. Your story is very inspiring!
