My high school education at Cedar Bluff School has provided me with the knowledge to take on any career with a considerable understanding. In the ninth grade, my family purchased a restaurant. From then on, my time outside of school changed, for owning a business leads to long work hours throughout the week. In high school, I managed to play sports, maintain a high grade point average, and work at our family business.

In my early years of varsity football, I continued at the position of quarterback; however, my junior year, I was moved to wide receiver. Although I had put so many years of practice into being a quarterback, I enjoyed playing receiver

It was the look on Cody’s face. It was something he’d never seen. In that one glance, the Quarterback truly believed that Cody was going to hurt him. That’s
