Personal Statement
I began playing football in the eighth grade. My parents were the biggest driving factor behind this. Without my parents pushing me to play, I wouldn't be the man I am today. Football has taught me so many lessons and things about myself. Most importantly, football has taught me that when life knocks you down, you get up and fight harder than ever before. I aspire to play college football because right now, I cannot imagine my life without the game. I want to help my parents pay for college in some way as well because of the many ways they have helped me and loved me. Academics have always come before football through. There's a reason student comes before athlete. I want to go to a college that will push me to be a better student, athlete, and overall person. My faith in Christianity is also a large factor in my life. Without God, none of this even matters. I hope to go to a university that has goals that reflect mine. I want to continue to grow my knowledge of the game because somewhere down the road in life I would like to coach football at some level. I will give my all to any program and any coach in life, football, and the classroom.
