More than a Game BY Christian Lassahn

Football is not just about the suffering and hard work which it takes to be successful, it is about the physical and mental toughness it gives people, and most of all to me it is my pride and joy in my high school life. Through the hellish practices and hard work, time and time again I find myself leading and uplifting my teammates as a captain, and inspiring others with the same passion for the sport that I have. My confidence skyrocketed and allowed me to make many of my lifelong friends, however, football also gave me a skill which I believe I could not have found anywhere else, and that is the ability to persevere through adversity and lead others through nearly impossible situations.

Playing Unified Sports Has Made Me a Better Person BY ERIC GONCALVES

I will always be a Unified Oaker. “Choose to include” is a motto I will always live for the rest of my life as I will always choose to include others no matter if they have a disability or not, everyone should always be included to do anything and everything. Nobody should ever be left out in anything; it isn’t the right thing to do at all. It doesn’t matter who they are.
