Journal #31 Trying to Do Something I Really Wanted to Do

The people that I try to persuade to let me do something that I really want to do the most would have to be my parents. I know that sometimes I think that I know what is really best for me but, truly my parents really have the best idea of what is best for me not me. They have been through way more of life than I have and also way more situations, so they usually have a better idea of what I should do in the situation or what the best outcome should be. Although sometimes I do not agree with some of the decisions that they make about me, but I know deep down inside they only want the best for me. I know at the time when my parents tell me something that I really want to do is a bad idea I think they are totally wrong and the I am the one who is right but, when I look back at these situations I realize how wrong I was when I thought that and how right they truly are. Something I really wanted to do when I got into high school was to play high school football. That had always been one of my dreams was to play football just like my dad did when he was in high school. I heard all about the stories of him when he was young boy just like me playing the sport that he loved. The only problem with me playing high school football was that my mom really did not want me to play since he thought it was too dangerous and I could get badly hurt if I did play. I had to convince my mom for what seemed like a whole year until she finally conceited and said it was okay for me to play football. My dad was overly excited for me to play and my mom now loves to come to games to watch me play. I am so glad my mom let me because, it is my favorite sport to play and I look forward to playing it every year.
