I feel like the limitation 150 words makes this response almost hollow - I dont think I could write a full essay on the subject, but does anybody think something is lacking in this essay? Any responses are greatly appreciated!
Playing football is a passion of mine, but it has not always been. In fact, many people, including myself, do not even consider me to be an athletic person. I joined my school's six man football team in my sophomore year because I wanted to try something new and different. Although it was challenging at first, I eventually learned the ropes and was able to keep up with the rest of the team, occasionally earning a play or two into some of the games. After playing the sport for 2 years and currently participating in my third year, I have gained a lot of respect for football and the values it has taught me. I have learned to push myself to be a stronger person (both physically and mentally), I have learned about the importance of teamwork to achieve success, and above all else, I have learned that challenging myself with different activities has great rewards.
