Halee pt 5

College and high school football season is right around the corner. I am so so so excited for it to start. Football is my favorite sport, but I've never played. My dad would never let me. He was the head coach and he thinks he was trying to protect me but if I had started at the same time all the boys did I think I'd be okay. In fact, I started playing earlier than any of the boys. Ever since I was 3 years old, I've had a football in my hand. Baseball, too. I really like baseball but football is still my favorite. Anyway, I've played longer than any of the boys I know and I'm sure I know more about the sport, too. That's what I grew up on. That's all I used to know. Before I could even count to 100 I knew about football. I loved it, and I still do. Any time there's an opportunity to play a quick game, I jump to it. Every fall I get excite because 1) there's football, 2) my birthday and 3) hunting season. Notice I said football first. When I went to Brookland, I played football at recess with all the boys and I told them what to do. They listened. Sometimes my dad would watch from his classroom window and when I got home, he'd tell me that I made good passes or ran really fast. I was so proud. At football practice, I'd throw with the quarterbacks and fill in on the line when they practiced blocking. I had so much fun. I loved every second of it. Even when it was 100 degrees outside I didn't care since I was having so much fun. Thanks for listening. I have 6 more.
