I AM Poem

By: Sam Zak

I am hard working and energetic

I wonder how I can work hard to get the job done

I hear my coaches telling me to work harder  

I see my feet touch the ground while I run

I want to work harder to get better at my position every practice

I am hard working and energetic

I pretend that I am a defensive end for the New York Jets

I feel the sweat dripping down my cheek

I touch other football player’s pads to block them or tackle them

I worry when I do things that are scary or dangerous

I cry when I get hurt really badly in sports

I am hard working and energetic

I understand that I have to work hard to get better at my assignment

I say, “Nice job!” to my teammates when they make a good play

I dream to of playing for the Jets

I try hard to reach my goals

I hope I can work hard to be a Defensive End for the Jets

I am hard working and energetic
