Football‚ to me‚ is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school. When I joined the team senior year‚ I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work‚ nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year.
