Certain events or individuals that greatly change their lives affect everyone. One wonderful teammate Joe has had a special effect on me. In the four years that I have known him, he has been my best friend and like a big brother to me. Joe has always told me to keep trying harder and not to ever give up. My senior year will be filled with projects, after school activities and championships to be won.
             Friendship is one of the greatest experiences of life. Knowing Joe has been one the highlights of my high school years. I feel that finding someone you really connect with is the most profound experience you can have.
             Joe has influenced me in many ways. He has been there is good times and bad.
             He always told me never to give up that with hard work and time everything will come your way. Joe is definitely my role model. I will try my hardest to prove to him that I can do it.
             I will definitely enjoy the independence of campus life. The courses will be challenging, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my ultimate goal. It is extremely important to receive a good education. I assure you that, I have the potential academically and athletically that will have a lasting effect on my future success.
