I have played football since I was six years old, and it has always been a big part of my life. It has helped shape me into who I am today. More than any other sport, it has taught me how to compete, to be a leader, what it means to be a team player and allows me to set a good example for everyone who watches me play. I have played through adversity, injuries and learned to never stop giving 100% until the horn sounds at the end of the game. I am confident my coaches will agree I have the right attitude, mindset and best work ethic on my team. I work hard, doing what is asked of me, never questioning or making excuses. I lead by example and always encourage my teammates to give me and the rest of the team their full effort. Through football and other sports, I have learned dedication and hard work pays off, both on the field, in the classroom and in everyday activities and life! I look forward to furthering my football career in college, while pursing my academic degree in computer science, hoping to pursue a career in computer forensics or cyber security.
