Undergraduate / Football and MVP - TELL US ABOUT WHO YOU ARE [2]
Hi, i am wondering if this is an appropriate response. Feedback is much appreciated!
I am proud of the fact that I am resilient. Having a competitive mindset faced me with many hardships. Thus, showing myself being brought down wont stop me from getting back up. I have always shown myself to people as a calm person who wants to listen and help people, rather than try to fix my own problems. My friends and family knowing me more closely know I can get through whatever I am challenged with, and come out on the other side even better.
For instance, I began playing football when I was in grade 10. Beginning a sport like football this late put me at an extreme disadvantage, but this issue did not discourage me. On the contrary, it motivated me. I was considered very undersized for my position, however, I gave it my all every day at practice to have a respected place on the team. Furthermore, I advanced at a very fast rate throughout the season and it was recognized by my coaches and teammates, but I didn't feel I was finished. I continued pushing myself to my limits through all of the pandemic. Hence, when I returned for my final season I could see the work I was putting in finally paying off. On the whole, I was awarded Defensive MVP on my team, and named Conference All-Star for my division.
Reflecting on many scenarios throughout my life clearly demonstrated my resilience to me. I am glad this is a strength I am armed with because I know that whatever comes at me I can get past.
