Our football team had just suffered our sixth loss in a row. A winning season and the playoffs were now out of my reach. I cried for the first time in three years after that game. Why I was putting myself through all this pain? The physical, emotional, and mental hurt was breaking me down. Why not quit and just end this torture? I looked up and the answer was there in front of me, my teammates. They were going through the same experience as I was. I could never leave them, the people who made me feel accepted when I first moved to town. They pushed me at times when I felt like stopping and keep pushing me to this day. They made me believe in myself and helped me build trust in others. They have been a major part in my life and in my dedication to football.
