The obstacles that keep me from fulfilling my goals and dreams

My dream would be to get an offer to play for a professional football team. I would love getting picked in the draft, and signing a contract with an NFL team. Football is my life right now, and playing in the NFL would be one of my dreams. There is a big obstacle in the way though. Not to many people are picked though, and you have to be great at what you do. I am only 13, and I don’t know how good I’ll be by the time I would get to the point where I could get picked. There are many people who were born to play football, and there would be a lot of competition. Also, you have to have good grades in college. There is a lot of pressure, which also affects your chances. It is a tough thing to do. After all of this, you have to go through team cuts. There can only be a certain number of people on the team, and they slowly cut them from the team. Many people are good, because they are returning players, so the bars are raised even more. These are all definitely obstacles in the way of my dream and goal.

The Philadelphia Eagles are my favorite NFL team. I have liked them for at least 4 years, and they definitely perform differently every year.  They were founded in 1933, and have made it to two super bowls, and had three NFL titles.

Here are some links to some more eagles facts, and them in action.
