On my first day of try out for Moanalua Football team I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous most of the time on what position I was going to be and whether I would make the team. Then I had this exciting feeling of how I always wanted to play Football. Later we gathered up on the field for prayer and our coach made a speech about this being a great program and being dedicated to it if you want to play for us or not. This got me a little scared at first but I said to myself If I want to become apart I have to work hard. As the offseason went on workouts became harder and harder sometimes I felt like giving up. But I always said to myself when this happened"don't give up".
The offseason got easier as I got use to it more. But suddenly I almost forgot season was just around the corner and I had that feeling again when I first joined the football program. Now it was serious I didn't know what to expect with pads. So on our first football scrimmage of the season I had made the biggest mistake I would make at my position. I was embarrassed myself, after I though a lot about. I though was going to be horrible at it. Each passing I would put all this aside.
After that I was eager ever practice to work hard every practice. I got better and better and eventually one practice after the drills we went over my coach called me back. I knew I did great so my coach and I also knew I wasn't in trouble. My position coach was proud of me doing so well. This encouraged me even more and eventually and lucky me I got to start on the Homecoming game. This experience taught me something the hard through a long and hard season football. That in whatever you do you should never give and the harder you work the more greater you will be rewarded. This will always apply to me for the rest of my life.
