text: My second reason for agreeing with the principle's decision is that they can be an opportunity to find something you enjoy doing. I am so glad that I decided to play soccer because it has given me an immeasurable amount of joy and has helped raise my self confidence. In third grade when I got home from school I was always bored and had nothing to do, so I asked my dad to sign me up for soccer. Once I started soccer I loved it and constantly wanted to improve and be better than my peers. Once the whistle blows to signal the start of the game, I get a rush of adrenaline and energy that is indescribable. I always try my hardest in the game because when I do well I feel good about myself. I am not a very confident person, so when someone compliments me about how I am fast, or how I have a good jukes to get past other players it really makes me happy and more confident in myself. These compliments make me enjoy soccer even more and also sometimes the happiness lasts into the next school day. Without soccer I would probably have much less confidence and be a sad person because I wouldnt have something to keep me happy outside of school. Because of the principles decision students might find an activity they are passionate about and enjoy doing. I had so many great experiences playing soccer and I want everyone to be able to have similar ones in whatever activity they choose.
