In the 10th grade I was playing ball for Cedar Shoals and my grades started to slip. I had to get off the team for the second half of the season that year. I felt like I had let myself, my team, and my family down. I reacted to it in a positive way. I knew I had messed up so I had to get focused and back on track so I could be eligible for the next season. My teachers helped me, and I helped myself by doing my work and by paying attention in class.
From this experience I learned that you don’t need to slack in your class, because if you really like sports like I do, you would keep your grades up. Instead of slacking and getting kicked of the team, just keep your grades up and do what you love to do. Plus you want to graduate on time with your class. I feel like I should have done better than I did, because getting kicked off the team was a key part of my life.
Freshmen can learn from this experience by taking pride in their work and devoting themselves to what they want and love to do. Slacking will just make you lose focus and not help you to stay on track to graduate. It will keep you from getting that scholarship to that college you always wanted to go to. My final advice to you freshmen is to just keep your head up and stay focused on your work in order to graduate. Just don’t do anything to jeopardize your chances of graduating. Do everything in your power to get your credits and walk across that stage.
