Something That Gets Me Through every Soccer Game.

As I go through school I see that there are only two roads you can go through. The first road is the positive road. The second road is the negative road. As I was going through high school one of my coaches would always tell me “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future”. As a freshman back then I didn’t really know what it meant but then I finally figured out what it meant and that was if you want to be successful then the people you hang around should also want to be successful but the same thing goes for people who want to take the negative room. For me I kept friends who wanted the same thing I wanted and those goals were to get good grades, graduate and play college Soccer. We all accomplished that goal. As I go through college it’s a lot more different then how it was in high school. You’re on your own, no parents, no one to look after you. It’s just you! To get through college its I just think about what’s my reason to be here and that’s to get a head start in life making my family proud and also making a better life for a family that I plan to start in the future. Here at Muskingum I’ve found people who want the same thing that I want so when I’m feeling lazy or don’t want to work or get up for class they push me and motivate me to do it. There are a lot of distractions in school such as girls, parties, drugs etc. but I always think about how I’m the first person in my family to go off to college and I also think about my little brothers and what kind of example I want  to set for them. When I talked to a few people who were in college some would say it’s easy some would say it’s hard and some would say its just school. Growing up I had a strong work ethic so I use that to my advantage helping me get papers done before they’re due and not procrastinating. I try to not let school take over me meaning that I won’t let school stress me out or consume all of my time so I’ll go work out or hang with my friends and if I get a bad grade I won’t act like it’s the end of the world ill just find out what I did wrong and fix them. The last thing I’ll do is to have fun and enjoy my time while I’m here in school. People say that college will be the best years of your life and I want to have fun. But at the same time like my dad would always tell me there’s a time and place for everything so there’s a time to have fun and there’s a time to get serious and get your work done.
