One and done.

When one person makes a decision it effects many around them. At the time the person may feel that it is no on else's concern but their own until they see that it does involve someone else. I have experienced something that will live with me forever and has helped teach me what can happen by the actions people make. It is now preventing me from making mistakes that can hurt others as well.

By making one mistake that another had made they harmed so many people. They broke trust, hurt others, and harmed the reputation of all. They now have realized the wrongs they have committed but at the time did not think. I do not blame them for what happened but wish they would've thought first. Now whenever I hear something about their mistake it is reflected back on me.

People criticizes the masses for the harm that a few can do. We now are all looked down upon and have consequences. We now all cannot be viewed as the leaders but as the followers and we are now seen as the bad guys. We are the butt of peoples joke and the ones who are looked at when we walk around. The mistakes are now going to haunt us all for as long as we know. We will forever be looked at differently.

Many do not know the truth and never will. They need to know that we all were not involved though. We all did not make the mistakes that they did and we want to be viewed differently. The people that say bad things need to know that we are a family and will stick together through this time and will not let the others make us feel bad.

We are united and we will not let the issues break us apart, we are forever bonded and will forever be there for each other. No matter what you have to say.

Superbowl maturation

As I am watching the Super bowl this Sunday in the second quarter I have an aching feeling that the 49'ers are long gone. They have no chance of making it back and are getting down on themselves. I couldn't decide if it was my previous knowledge of football teams that gave me the uneasy feeling of no recovery or the big score gap.

I have been blessed with the knowledge of football because of being a cheerleader for our school football team and I know how they can react. This year we made our way to the playoffs for state football. The boys were all excited to be playing at the UNIDOME and were ready to win like the victory the week before. As the game begins the we are slowly sinking behind. It feels as if we can never catch up as the other team has full field touchdowns and are pulling ahead. The team begins to get down and I can feel it among the players. As the game continued on so did the lead of the other team ahead of us. The boys had given up hope and were pre-determining their fate. In the end we lost the game because we counted ourselves out too soon.

As I am sitting and watching the Super bowl and half time is approaching I get the same feeling of loss. I proceed to make the comment "Its over..the 49'ers cant pull back out of this one they are getting down on themselves." This began to strike up a conversation and made us realize their is a major difference between the 49'ers and my Kennedy football team. They have matured and learned to not give up when the times are down. So it is possible to come back. I am in the midst of typing this blog when the game starts to pick back up. The score is now within a touchdown to determine the winners of the Super bowl 47.

I was so impressed to see that the 49'ers were making a come back. They found the strengths to pull through and make it work as a team. I could see the differences between the teenage boy and the man playing football. They bond over the love of it but learn the new ways to play the game. It is all the same plays and ideas but they have new ideas to bring to the team. The development was amazing how they came together and fought back for their team and will not let it die.

The 49'ers are a great example of what the future can hold and how football can always bring a bond between people.
