Jacob Mendez-Romo '17 Recruiting Profile

  My collegiate goals and aspirations in college are receive the highest quality of education. I want to major in business and start my own company. Not only can I get an amazing education I can also play the game I absolutely love.

  Through playing the game of football I've learned so much about myself and who I am as a person. Playing the game of football you face many struggles and hardships. It's how you decide how to handle these certain things to make them a positive learning experience. You can use yours or others mistakes to learn and grow from. I believe that playing football is similar to the real world. Growing up to become an adult I will be faced with many challenges. Just like football learning from past experiences will help me with challenges to come in life and give me a better perspective on how to tackle that challenge in life.

  I'm also different from others in the academic field because not everyone is the smartest person in the world. What I can control is how hard I work to understand the material I'm being taught me. I will ask for extra help when I need it to understand the material more clearly. Nothing will ever be to hard for me to understand because I will seek the help I need and get it done.
