I am born and raised in Connecticut, lived here my whole life never lived anywhere else and I am still currently living here. As a player I want to be at the best level possible playing my best football, I am a winner, I hate losing. I am always looking at different things that i can approve on to be the best i can be, I don’t take any plays off I give my best effort 100% of the time every snap. As a student I want to be the best student that I can be and have the best grades possible, I enjoy being a student more than a player because it shows that it’s not just about what you do on the field, it’s also about what you in the classroom, not just the classroom, life as well. When it comes to being a student i complete my work when it’s supposed to be completed, never waste time or procrastinate. My high school career was cut short because of bad schooling decisions, My Freshman year I was attending a magnet school that only accepted a certain amount of players and since i was late coming to the school, I missed my Freshman year. My Sophomore year the magnet school that I was attending was shut down by the state and we had to combine with another school because of it, the school that I was sent to didn’t have a football team at all and if I were to transfer I would be ineligible to play my sophomore season so i finished my sophomore year at the school I was sent to. My Junior year is when i finally got the chance to transfer to a public school (Bristol Eastern High School) and there I was only able to play 2 games of my junior year due to family problems. My Senior year came and i was doing a lot of thinking over the summer about if it’s to late to play college football, would the coaches believe in me playing for team, would i be able to earn my starting spot over someone who has been here for 4 years, I thought about a lot more than just this but those were the main thoughts. Finally, senior year came and I was off to a slow start because I had to sit out for a few weeks because of a hamstring injury that i suffered over the summer playing basketball, this was already bad because of the fact that this was already my first full year and I was battling with another player who has been there all 4 years for my starting starting spot. when I was finally cleared to play the coaching staff pretty much had the team together already by the time I came back but this did not stop me, I was still working hard for the starting spot but it was clear that the coaching staff had already made their decision as to who will get the starting spot so I didn’t really see the field as much as i was supposed to. I regretted playing basketball that day so much, I still do to this day but I will be beyond blessed for another opportunity to play at the next level against some of the best players in the country, I want to be considered as one of the best players in the country before my time is up.
