Many children grow up with a strong inspiration of what they want to be when they
grow up. Most kids want to be doctors, firemen, lawyers and other common
careers. I grew up with the mentality of I want to succeed in a career I enjoy.
Over the years, I’ve gone from career ideas to more career ideas. Evidently to
this day I’m not particularly certain of where I want to be in ten years.
However, throughout my years there have been many obstacles and experiences
that helped me become the person I am today. Some of the most significant lessons
I have learned derived from sports.
Sports have molded, sculpted and shaped my life and it continues on to today. As a child I began playing tennis around theage of six, at twelve years old I began competing in tournaments in the Mayors
Cup U.S OPEN. Sports have leaded me to some of the most substantial concepts
any person learns over time. Some of the morals I developed from sports were
determination to succeed, diligence, and to never quit. The willingness to
compete and participate in sports has truly helped me accomplish the goals I
set out for myself today.
When I was a freshman in high school, I did many things I’m certainly not proud of. Admittedly, I made a
lot of bad choices that lead me onto a very dangerous path. On one particular
occasion, my mentality was changed forever about the police, which was before
negative. I had been caught by the police doing something bad and as my life was
spiraling into an abyss of lies, mistakes and trouble. It all started to turn
around for the better after my altercation with the police. From this
experience I learned multiple valuable lessons that continue to affect the way
I live my life today. After this mishap, I grew very fond of the police that
changed my life forever for the better. Ever since then, I have wanted to make a
difference, and help others, that are not able to help themselves. Most importantly,
aid other individuals understand their life can be changed for the better good,
similarly to mine.
