Most people don’t complain about all of the good things they have in life. Instead all they want to complain about is all of the bad things that are happening in their life. As a fifteen year old in high school of course I have a lot to complain about. As a three sport athlete I am often sore and crabby when I get home from all of the work that I have done. I am usually stressed about all of that but I never really think about how I have the opportunity to even play sports because some people can’t. In the society we live in today, you never know what could happen to you and your health. People never really think about it but you could have just one tear or break in your body and could be out of sports for the rest of your high school career or even your whole life. But instead all people want to complain about is how bad they did in a game or getting yelled at in practice and they really should just be thankful for what they have because some people don’t get what you do.
As we football players start off the season and school year, we often get into a bundle between getting our homework done and staying after school for football practice until 6:00 p.m. every night of the week. I’ve always wondered, what is it like not getting to play football or not get to go to school. What do people do for fun if they can’t play football? What do people do during the day when they’re not at school?
The next season my teammates and I go through is basketball. Basketball is one of the games where you work your hardest at all times just to see the court. As my teammates and I are playing in front of all of the fans in the bleachers getting the opportunity to show people what we are made of when it comes to physicality and coordination. Playing for you home town is nothing compared to playing basketball with your driveway or at the open courts because you push your self to the top peak to prove how good you are. Te people that can’t afford to play basketball for the team that have to play in their driveway will never know what it is like to play for your home town and playing in front of all the people. We will never understand how it is for those people and to know how rough they have it compared to us.
The final sport of the year is the baseball season. Us athletes take baseball as a relaxing part of our lives and for example, in the football and basketball season we are cautious about drinking pop but when the baseball season comes around we always drink pop because it doesn’t take that much work to play baseball. Personally baseball is a sport that is mainly not for the competition but for the fun I get to have with my friends.
In conclusion people need to understand that other People have it way more rough than you do. The priveleges you get as an individual comes naturally for most people in your life and you need to take advantage of those privileges make the most of them because sooner or later they will be gone.
