Passions+QL

Being passionate about something means that you have a strong feeling for something. Our passions can do many things such as improve lives, improve the world, make someone feel loved and appreciated, and make changes for the better. I am passionate about many things, but one of my favorite passions is sports. Michael Jordan once said, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed." This means that every time I fail, I learn from my mistakes and that I should keep trying and give my one hundred percent in all my sports. My passion impacts the world and so does yours.

Have you ever been playing a sport and you notice a little kid in the crowd looking at you with big wide eyes? This kid is just waiting for the day he can stand where you are; he wants to be an athlete just like you. By playing sports I can inspire young athletes to have confidence and play the game with the same passion I play with. If they are nervous about playing because they think they are ging to do bad, I can ask them if they want to play, and I can teach them what I already know about the sport. I can also visit their games and support them so they have confidence to win.

If I'm trying my hardest in a game, then my teammates will notice me working hard, and they will start to work hard. By working hard and as a team we can be successful and win a game. The only way you can win is by working as a team and conquering any difficulty that stands in your way. By practicing every day you get to know your teammates and learn how they play. If your teammate is better at something, they can teach you, and if you are better at something, then you can teach them.

I can also use my passion to impact the world by doing exercise and staying fit. If I don't stay fit then I will be one of those fat people that sit around and watch American Horror Story all day. I stay fit by playing most of the sports at ICS and by doing exercise at home. Every week I go on a jog around my neighborhood and I also play basketball with my friends. More than two thirds or 68.8 percent of adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese, it is important to stay fit and healthy at a young age so you aren't overweight in the future.

My passions can impact others but it can also impact my own life. So be active and play sports or be fat and lazy, the choice is yours.
