Friday Night Lights”, every time I hear these words, it reminds to the good moments I’ve had with my teammates during the season, I’m sure I’ll miss them when I graduate, joining football, I think, has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken, that’s how important football is to me.

Football has impacted in many ways from physically, to mentally, it’s just that feeling when I go in the field and touch that turf, I can't find the words to explain it, it’s something I never felt before, I almost fainted on my first game, I was so nervous and scared of doing something wrong. Even though we lost that game, I still had a great time playing with friends and teammates. I will never forget that day. Not only that, but football has taught me that what teamwork is, because to be honest, I didn’t knew what that meant, that I’ll have better outcomes if I do it in a group or team.

After all, high school football has been one of the greatest things I have ever experienced. Luckily, I will be able to play again next year with my teammates, to win the district championship that we have worked hard for.
