Our hope in printing it here is that our story may help athletes in the future choose the higher road:<br> As I sit back and think of the moments in my life, I try to think of all the different things that I have accomplished. But no matter what I try to focus on, I seem to dwell on my mistakes. The biggest one is still the most painful. This is one that everyone is familiar with around our school and town. I made the decision to drink during the football season. Then, to top it off, I went to a school function right afterwards. Needless to say, I was caught and punished. The embarrassment and pain that I felt was harsh. I didn t know how to face anyone, especially my former teammates. The different things that were running through my mind are unexplainable. I let myself down, but more importantly I let down my school and my town. I lost respect from a lot of people. <br> How does one deal with something like this? I tried thinking of positive things to boost my morale, but I was unable to sooth the pain in my soul. I remember the night of the playoff game, standing outside the stadium in the pouring rain. I found myself wishing that I could go back in time to prevent my superior mess-up. People would walk by and whisper things. They didn t know, but I could hear what they it takes? As they are thinking about these questions, then ask,  Do you want me to handle them or do you want to try to handle them first? Usually, they will want to handle them. This strategy can develop strong leadership and even greater commitment.<br><br>I would recommend you have captains or senior leaders. Communicate on a regular basis. Ask,  How are we doing? Do you need any help? Always relate the positive things you see going on. <br><br>USE EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION: This will enhance and fortify the goal and the three steps. Always give praise. Say things like,  You know what you are? On a scale of one to ten, you are an eleven; or that was an h it hurts to wreck your own dreams. I would also like to send my deepest apologies to everyone, especially my teammates. <br> The other day I was asked about the whole situation and if I learned from it. I knew the answer and so did this individual. Then, as I walked away, I was told that I was not the only one who learned from it, so did everyone else. Please think twice before you do something stupid, and never forget your dreams.<br>Note: This athlete went on to wrestle and won the State Championship at 190 defeating two wrestlers in the tournament that had defeated him during the season. and child of God no longer have to search to find my place in this world.<br><br>I, the African American, have a responsibility to my forefathers whose struggle I must continue to ward off hatred and bigotry.<br><br>I, the African American, descendant of Ishmael and Abraham, have a responsibility to help my brothers and sisters if they fall by the wayside.<br><br>I, the African American, of dark complexion, have a responsibility to keeping my dark beautiful armor shined with Christ-like luster in my daily walk.<br><br>I, the African American, whose ancestors were great warriors, must become a great warrior against such things as drugs and gang violence.<br><br>I, the African American, from a race which was so powerful as to cause a nation to chu( FhSTs8,ĸvMp~S![>ޕ7_DOL2\uskϯFys’nOSJދs\FՆ56l*~?Ū~?ΦnzQ5D; 4 6<b/Mʰ(Ӯ]fU:37WI}`eHff#fq\q\\bm6?X-Bp U5^)yYC7o4ɬ:\i%JM1ku_:u($ nT | j)~ꦛ[SlCszE '=}2FP#iQY\p/[0b.|޸qb)MepK_ކkix ;W]XmVȬ ?[Hr|z|/,i 9$Cw%VoS7T㵫 ] z V|.KO$D5k 9gUOXMX fAPLj5FB^5# NBA郚[.)~DY&+5J>Z$\'ҝTԜe ){-C*_PLWW]1$4}cp:I6-ō[C!$U+ӿZ+EMڅ:-U\:L {֡rCUuG%LDw5#V4nh-^9id$`w'#}>iTʍ"?
