Ever since I was young, the fire for football has always been burning inside me. I was always drawn to sports growing up as I joined flag football at the age of six. As soon as I was of age to play tackle football, I rushed to sign up with the Boys & Girls Club football teams. I participated in three teams as I aged into playing football associated with my school. In junior high, as I played multiple sports, my motivation and dedication earned me an award for athlete of the year. I excelled more and more and gained knowledge and experience of the sport that I fell in love with. This led to gaining a position on the varsity squad since my freshman year. I continue striving to be the best athlete I can be, both during practices and at home on my own time. I understand how important it is to maintain a healthy, athletic body to perform at its highest level possible. This means eating healthy and staying away from drugs that will hinder my optimum performance. The next aspiration in life is to continue playing ball at the college level, and ultimately gain the experience to perform as a professional athlete.
