The constant routine of school and football for seven months straight, five days a week has left a lingering stench and stress on my teenage life. But there’s a light at the end of this smelly tunnel. Because I believe in something that contradicts the dirty, rough, tiring field of school and football I believe in taking a long, hot shower. For as long as I could remember I've always been in love with the game of football but just recently I started to play (Five years to be exact). Seeing the players on the television screen I never realized the amount of hard work and the effort that goes into being a student of the game. And now playing it everyday I realize just how hard it is there are ups and downs I wondered what keeps these amazing players going? Is it the large amount of money? Or is it the fame that gets them up everyday to workout? For me it’s the fact that I know that soon I will be in my domain, my shower. When I hit that shower the hot rushing water hits my body and sends chills and Goosebumps up and down. When I'm embraced with that water if feels as though I can breath deeper, longer. And when I’m in that shower im just not washing away the dirt from that harsh gridiron Im washing away all my worries ive had from the day and prior. The magic of the shower is one I ponder over especially in the shower; all that time I spend in there you should see my parent’s water bill but the magic of it I can’t fully comprehend. At nights after a good shower it can put me sound asleep into the uncluttered recesses of mind I have no worries. And in the morning when I walk into my bathroom strip and hop in it wakes me up even from the best of sleep. This may not be the most groundbreaking belief or idely agreed but it’s my belief and until the water runs out it’ll be mine forever.
