My short term goals are to pass 9th grade and make it to 10th grade, and get my learners permit to drive. A medium term goal I have is for next football season to make it to the varsity team and potentially start. My long term goals that I have are to graduate from high school, go to college to get a degree and play football and there after make it to the big stage of the NFL. My mother has always been my biggest motivator in life, she told me I could be what ever I wanted to be and I've believed her ever since. What she told me has stayed with me and has helped me focus more in the class room, outside of school and on the football field. My biggest goal is to make it to the NFL so I can support my family one day, while also playing the sport I love so much. All I ever think about is football I just can't get it out my mind sometimes. A dream I have is to one day be a captain of an NFL team and be the type of player Ray Lewis was. You could ask anyone who my favorite player is and they would say Ray Lewis. I just love the passion he brings to the table every game day and on the practice field. Ray is one of my biggest motivators because I feel like I'm just like him and have the potential to be like him one day. I bring the same type of passion with me on/off the field and in the class. In one of his quotes he said "all I know is grind". I am one of the hardest workers on the field. I try to be the best at my postison, I try to push my self to the limit all the time because I know there is someone out there doing to same. That's why I go all out with extra reps on the field and in the weight room. I know if I push myself hard enough I can achieve anything. I'm willing to go that extra mile to be the best I can be.
