I am 15 years old and I played football for my high school varsity team. I used to get in a lot of trouble because of fighting. Now, I can hit people on the football field and not get in trouble. On the field, I run like a wild animal. I am ferocious. My friends say I roar like a lion when I run with the ball. I feel like a king when I scored a touchdown. There is nothing more rewarding than scoring the winning run. People admire and look up to football players. I think it's because they expect us to have no fear. I like being looked up to. I enjoy being a role model. =
