Ever since i started playing football in the 4th grade, its been a dream to play college football. I've had lots of ups and downs playing football from losing positions, to changing schools, to learning plays. At the beginning of my high school years i was at Longview high school in Longview, Texas. My freshman and sophomore year were spent battling back and forth every week to maintain a starting spot, and no matter how much practice i put in, no matter how hard i worked it seemed that the coaches were never satisfied. After realizing that Longview wasn't the place for me, I left and started going to school at Jefferson High School in Jefferson Texas. Starting 2-a-days of my junior year, I proved to the coaches that I knew about football and could become a great player on the team. After not making playoffs even with a 7-3 winning record, I vowed that I would become a even better player than I was at the moment. I used my time during the summer to work on my own and going to camps. I came back not only a better player, but a wiser player. Already in the mixt of my senior year everything is going good and I'm maintaining my position through a lot of hard work.
My two biggest dreams are to play college football and run college track. After playing these sports for years ive feel in love with them. Its been my dream since middle school to play both these sports in college. I've always thought of myself as the best player on the team, but not to be satisfied with being the best player on the team, but being the best player to ever play the sport. This motivation is what keeps me from quitting, its my drive. As long as this dream has a chance I will continue becoming the best player I can. Even with these dreams being accomplished I want to keep striving to achieve more goals that I can reach.
