One of the biggest things I wanted to when I was in high school was become a captain of the football team. The reason I wanted to be the captain football team was because in our school the only two main sports we had was football and basketball. we weren't really good in any other sports besides those two.
So I made that a goal for myself ever since I was a freshman in high school. But I new that you couldn't be a captain tell you were either a junior or senior. So for my first two years of high school I tried my hardest to keep up good grades to play, and weight lifted each and everyday so I could get bigger and faster so people would start noticing me more as a leader not a follower.
But anyways my first third year came around and I knew that I had a chance to be a captain. so the day of voting came along I was so pumped, then that afternoon rolled around and captains were to be announced. But when they announced the names I wasn't on there, I was so mad I thought I had deserved a spot as captain all that handwork in vein. But eventually I just realized I had another whole year left. so for another summer I worked my butt off. When my senior year rolled around I finally got to be the captain of the football team. It was the most amazing feeling in the world.
But yet then I realized I had a lot of responsibility on my shoulders, I had to be a leader and someone to look up to for the younger kids. But that still was the best moment of my life getting to be the captain of the Wayne Falcon football team. How I felt at that time? It was really hard to remember all I really remember is being so happy, but then getting really nervous because I knew the whole team was ridding on my shoulders.
I guess those feeling I had for football kinda are really close to what i am feeling right now when I'm in college, because I am really happy that I am in college and I get to see and experience a bunch of new things that I have never done before, yet I am really nervous at the same time. The reason I'm so nervous is because I'm always worrying about my grades, and I'm worried that I wont get good enough grades to get in to vet school. So I would definetly have to say the time when I was at my best or felt at my best was when I got to be the captain of my football team.
