Personal Narrative - Athlete to Academia

Athletes to academia Although I do not feel the pressure of being a student at Georgia University, it is more important than ever to pay more attention to the importance of higher education at university. My main goal in high school was to gain enough talent to receive football scholarship. At the time, my focus was not in academia. But since I arrived at Georgia University, my overall concept of college degree value changed slowly. In addition to seeing future football, you can imagine yourself as a football player who got a college degree.

As a former high school student, I play soccer with sports and leisure. Regardless of whether it is raining or shining or snowing, I am planning to play football. However, as a high school student, he hopes to compete with college college team, this is another game. For this path student athletes need to be exposed by showing their accomplishments in academia and sports. Classlete is an online platform that enables high school students to create their own online sports cards. Sports cards display student sports, academic and extracurricular activities. On this platform, students can enhance their games by sharing their sports cards and getting exposure and contacting other players.

Extracurricular activities help to foster all students. We can not make one dimensional students at our school. Many students apply their skills to extracurricular activities such as athletics and sports and academic ability to receive university sports and sports scholarships. In this way, many students from my former school received a sports scholarship from an American university. Students who participate in extracurricular activities also tend to improve their academic performance. This is thought to be due to increased self-esteem and improved management of power and time. They become more organized in the classroom. They show a decrease in risk behavior and an increase in belonging awareness, and as a result actions are improved.

There are many advantages to participating in athletics at high school. The personal qualities developed as high school students are as follows. Teamwork, perseverance, responsibility, physical endurance, commitment, time management, and personal and emotional health. When a student decides to join the sports team, we promise to pay 100% of the effort with all exercises. Student athletes learn to work with others. Teammates rely on each other to achieve common goals. The student athlete shows loyalty to the teammates in a reliable and responsible way, shows all exercises and announces his / her best physical and mental effort.
