Enthusiasm Essay

What I like to do is enjoy learning about athletes that overcome adversity .It does not really matter what sport. From football to sports such as basketball, soccer, and track. A example of an athlete beating adversity is Michael Oher of the Baltimore ravens. He was a hoodlum kid that had horrible grades and managed to go to college,Then eventually have a lot of money because of NFL. Now this is one of thousands and thousands of stories of teen athletes overcoming adversity. Why do I like to read about these? Well It gives kids and other young athletes to look up to them. These athletes are heroes to younger athletes that look up to them.For instance your a football player or etc. you see an nfl star from around where you live or has your style it gives you someone to look up to. Everyday (mostly) I look up on the computer about this topic. It helps make the world better one piece at a time. I also like looking at statistics so I got the egde in argueing about sports. My English teacher knows me as NBA.com or NFL.com because I go on line all the time,During class. I also read magazines or watch ESPN.

Goal setting


 * **//__In Five years I want to be done with the two-year college program and going on to a 4-year degree at a university such as university of south florida. There I will try to get a degree in sports__ marketing __to pursue on. In Ten years from now I would like to like to be an up and coming sports agent having a wife or girlfriend that I always wanted. Maybe I would have a kid, preferably a boy. I have not shadowed anybody yet but I knew someone that was a sports agent. He had Fabian Washington as a client. The reason why I choose to try and be a sports agent is because I like sports in general and the flexible time on the job. The attributes that I think that would help me is having people skills .And ability to advertise myself and player. I would probably retire after 20 years and hopefully have a savings account with some money. By the end of my junior year I want my 2.042 gpa to be a 2.100 gpa. By the end of high school I want my gpa to be a 2.500. I would also like to have a degree in sports marketing.

I feel I have to be responsible on what I do. I am a very honest and trustworthy person to because if someone asks me to watch something of theirs, I will have it as safe as can be. But to help my responsibility I will get good grades to be more responsible on school. I can also maybe take part in watching my little brothers to make me more responsible. In my community I volunteer a lot of time at the Boys and Girls clubs of Manatee County. I help the staff members watch the kids. I also play games with them such as football, basketball, kickball and etc. I believe that if you teach some of the kids what`s right from wrong at a early age. I have delivered on meals on wheels a couple of times. It is a little experience seeing the people`s faces after they see that a kid is volunteering their time to deliver their meals.

Earlier in the school year I went to open gym where from all kinds of cultural backgrounds and played together. In Addition during lunch we all sit together as one group.
