Dating back to my early childhood; football at the time was my only love. I breathed, slept and ate football. It started off as just a friendly hobby around my neighborhood up until my tenth-birthday when I joined a little league football team. Over the years I continued to play, it got even more exciting for me when my friends from the neighborhood start joining the team as well. Things suddenly changed for me moving forward into my high school career. Although this was once a fun stress reliever it was becoming the only thing that stressed me out.

My passion for the game of football went undiscovered until my senior year. I’ve played football for as long as I can remember. From playing flag football in third and fourth grade all the way up to my senior year of highschool, it has always been a part of my life. I always found myself doing something football-related, whether it be playing it with friends, watching it on TV, or playing it on the PlayStation. To me, football is a way of bonding with friends and family. This sport brings you closer as a team, and it’s a way of making memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
