       Everybody works so hard to have so much talent in a certain something, not only in sports but in the workplace and etc. There is so much pressure on the people around us because they always think nothing is ever good enough or they aren't at the level of talent to be successful. Why so much pressure? As a senior in high school playing on the varsity football team much of the city never payed any attention to our football squad. Maybe Because we didn't have the star players going to
Division 1 schools like university of florida, Texas, and Etc. Also maybe because we didn't have the most talent on our team but what we did have was heart and dedication. As a fact in this world when talent competes with heart, talent has no chance. I'll tell you though by the the end of our season being undefeated , district champs, and knocking the number one team in the city out of the first round of the playoffs. We had many spectators turning their heads and wondering why such a small 5a district was knocking out a power house. The point I'm trying to put across to you reader's is to never strive for what is good enough for the people around you but for what is good enough for you. With heart and dedication it will always lead you in the right direction.
