My Dream Careers By Jacob Tupper

My Dream Career Sports Career The sports that I am good at is soccer and wrestling. I have a good chance at these sports because size doesn’t matter. If I didn’t need good grades in school to play my sports then I wouldn’t have good grades because sports is the one thing in life that I love besides girls and video games.

Soccer Career My favorite sport has always been soccer because nobody has ever judged me by my size. The reason why I am good at soccer is because I have excellent footwork.

Wrestling Career One of the sports that I am good at is wrestling because you only wrestle against people that are your weight. This was my first year at wrestling so I wasn’t very good considering my weight in a 105 pound weight class. The other guys or girls have at least 20 pounds on me.
