I realized that I am very competitive, and rely on competition for almost everything.
From a simple game of tag, to the championship game of basketball, if there is any way I can change the outcome of a game to my favor I will do it. I think I first picked up this competitive spirit from sports. If I ever played a football/basketball/soccer game, I would always want to win, and I would always hold my head up high when I did. When I lost I would be a little upset, but would be glad that I gave it my all. This carried on to my every day life, and not just sports. Now I always want to win everything and be the best at everything. You can even ask my friends. When we play touch football I am always on their case if they don't catch the ball, or if my friends on the other team make an unjust call. I guess I just HAVE to win.
I am glad I have this competitive spirit. If not for this spirit who knows what great opportunities I could miss in the future. Now a days all I think about is how I can be the best human being I can be and the best grades I can get, by competing with myself to do better, and by competing with everyone else so I can be the best and be happy for a long time. The competition is what drives me to do the best. The competition is why I get up in the morning. Competition is what I breathe.
