Life After Football :: Personal Narrative Writing

Life After Football Experiences change our lives everyday. We learn from our mistakes or successes in order to define who we are. Everything we do, and all that happens to us, changes who we are. However, there are those hears that understructure out above all others, the ones that have a drastic impact on our life styles, the ones that change how we view the world, and how we view our own lives. Our day-to-day modus vivendi changes and we are forced to find new ways to do things, forced to change our views on who we are. The one specific moment that I can particle in my life that created a drastic change of who I am today occurred last year in late August. It was the first week of naturalize and all I was really focused on was the football game coming up on Friday. I had spent most of my summer incubus training and practicing for the upcoming season and I got drastically better than the year before, and was ready for anything. Little did I know what was waiting for me in the game to come. An experience that I never imagined would ever happen to me. An experience that never even crossed my minduntil Friday came. I managed to get through my first week of shallow without much trouble. I was ready for the game. I went through my normal pre-game after school. I decided to put on some new spikes on my cleats, since my other ones were pretty dull. This was an action that I will question for the rest of my life. The school we were playing was just waste the canal bank that passed by our school, so we marched down in full force Now on the field we stretched out. Everything was the same as so many times before. We went into the locker room for the 15 transactions till the game started. I got into my crazy mindset, and started rocking back and forth, thinking of how much pain I would invoke on my opponents, and how I would go about doing that. I ran through all of the plays in my head at least once.
