Personal Statement
I'm in love with the game of football and want to play it for as long as i can. My goal is to make it to the NFL and i work everyday to just get a little closer to that goal. I have set many little goals in my journey and have reached all of them, so now I have started raising the difficulty on everything i do to make me better. I can't do this alone, my family has pushed me to my limits for my entire life. My brother has worked 12 hour night shifts to support his family and I. My father worked since he was 13 and now has very unstable health. I want to repay my family, friends, and even people who have doubted me because their doubt only makes me want to work harder. Everyone asks me how I'm always on task all the time and don't joke around and waste time. Its because i know that when you waste time you will never get it back, and if I'm on task now i will be successful in the future. Many people regret not working harder in their life time and that's why i do what i do. If someone asks me to do something with them that will not make me closer to my goal i just say no thanks and say to myself, "I'll let you play and party while i work, we will see who achieves more success." I'm always the first in the weight room and last to leave, i will work harder than anyone that is put in front of me, that's a promise. I was once told, "if you don't feel like you need to workout or study, just think about the kid across the country that is doing the extra little things to make himself better. Are you going to let them get ahead of you in the chances of becoming successful." There is no possibility for that because i will make myself better no matter the circumstances. I will work myself until there is nothing left to give and even more to achieve my goal, not only for me but for my family. God and my family are my inspirations to do what i do, without them maybe i would've given up a long time ago, but there is no way i can give up now. In the past five years i have lost my mother, many other family members, and even my house. But i have acquired such passion to achieve my goal that when something bad happens i don't sit and cry, I get this amazing feeling that picks me right up and inspires me to do great things. I want to extinguish the doubters with success. I want success as bad as i want to breathe.
