I've been playing football since I was 5 years old, and at the time, it was just a game to me. As I grow older with only my mom in my life, I realize that it's a lifestyle. I wake up and breathe football. Without it, I don't know what I'd do. I feel that doing well in football isn't only to make myself proud, but also my mom. She's provided for me my whole life on her own, and I feel that it's my job to pay her back. I want to be able to provide for her like she's done me.
