What’s Going through Your mind? (Written by DJ Tanner)

Whats going through your mind when your running up the  side, only 1 man to beat? When he runs fast you’ll run faster, can he take  the heat? Whats going through your mind when the X is open for the 40 yrd  touchdown pass? He catches the ball and you hope this moment will always  last.
What are you thinking about when there is a hole the size of Texas on the 28 toss? What are you thinking about when you sack the QB for an 18  yrd loss?
Whats going through your mind when coach is yelling at you for  dropping the ball? Why is it that on kickoff you got stopped at the first  wall? Coach told your parents before the season that you would most  definitely letter. You gotta learn from your mistakes, always making yourself  better.
Your a good player, but you got a big head, you think your the  best. You don’t listen during practice or do the drills, why you so different  from all the rest?
Whats going through your mind when everything starts  to go bad? What are you thinking about when you miss what you once  had? Your gettin buried in the depth chart, grades slippin, where’d it all  go? You start to drink, thinking, who’s gonna know?
You weren’t a  team player, you were only out there for yourself. What was going through  your mind when you saw there were no trophies on the shelf?
I really like when he has his coach telling him, ” You gotta learn from your mistakes, always making yourself  better.
Your a good player, but you got a big head, you think your the  best. You don’t listen during practice or do the drills, why you so different  from all the rest?” It really shows whats going through his mind after his coach says those words to him.

 

Challenge Week Four and Five:Media and Memory

Anime Expo

When I was little I couldn’t do with my favorite toy… Bumblebee The Transformer! He was the most marvelous, great, and cool toy a boy could have. Bumblebee was great.

My favorite thing about him is that he could transform! His bright yellow wings in the push of a button turn in to car doors. His face becomes the engine and then he’s ready to go.  I would grab my remote controller and drive him around. Zooming around the house saying phrases over and over my parents would get so mad.” Malone ! You better put that toy up now!” My mom would yell at me.”That is the most annoying thing ever.” My brothers would tell me but I would still play with him. I slept with him every night and if I ever got nightmare, Bumblebee would protect me.

If I didn’t have Bumblebee in my hand, I would cry and cry until my mom gave it back. I remember when I was little my brother broke his arm and that day we went to the hospital to check up on him but my parents wouldn’t let me bring Bumblebee and I wouldn’t leave without him so I stayed home all day playing with him. Driving him around with no one to get mad at me. “BumbleBee Go!” I would say to him. That might’ve been the best day of my life!

Without Bumblebee my childhood would not be the same. I can still remember his bright yellow wings. Everybody had the childhood toy and Bumblebee was mine!
