    When I was six years old, I played on my first baseball team. That’s when I fell in love with the sport. Until I was eighteen my life revolved around sports. While in Middle school I started playing football and basketball. From the time I was ten I played sports year-round. When one sport season ended another started for me.  I played not only for the love of the games but for the competitiveness and the happiness that winning brought me. Most athletes probably will not admit that, but I will, winning was and is important. Loosing wasn’t an option for me and because of that I never walked off a field or court without knowing I gave everything I had and did my absolute best.  That was very important to me. Playing sports, I made great, life-long friends. Being part of team taught me how to work with a group of people, being part of an organization and how to fight through adversity.  High school sports put a lot of pressure on athletes to do well, especially male athletes.   Friday nights in the fall and I knew everyone was counting on me and my teammates. Many years of playing sports and being coached by some good and some not so good coaches showed me what I want to do with my life. Being a coach has long been a goal of mine.  I want to help kids learn about sports and to become a great athlete's.  Every coach I've ever had has had a significant impact on my life. I plan on getting a Physical Education degree and to coach because I want to make a positive difference in the lives of my students and athletes.

The universe represents a god-like figure.  The man in the poem declares his existence to the world in order to be recognized, to feel that his presence is valued, and that he has significance in the big scheme of things. At the very least, man wants to be accepted by the world around him. It's fascinating how something so lighthearted can also be profound and serious. It's a painful truth that the world doesn't care about humanity, either as a whole or as individuals, since it's simply too big! While it's good to set huge goals and accomplish things, this poem is urging us to keep it in context. It's pointless to attempt to impress the world if you don't remember your friends and family. D...
