my family has been through some hard times and i feel like its my job as a man to take care of all of them we have a family history of males having a criminal record and i have to break that chain and become change for my family and do better for myself and them i push myself to do the best i can sometimes but i get off track here and there and then i refocus and think about what i need to do not really having any role models i look to football as a gateway for me its keeps me out of trouble and on the right path my academics are ok but im working on it trying to figure out what i can do differently to make my self successful and be a better student athlete cause i learn academics are always important first then im different athletically because i personally feel like there are players playing football to just play and play just to get paid i do it cause i actually love it i grew up with football my whole life and i dont know what i would do if i did not have it in my life i dont play for just myself i play for my family i show up to practice everyday i put in work during off season i show up to summer camp im quiet i stay focused and im coach able and a team player then thats another thing if we ever loose a game or anything like that i take the blame for it i like to put the responsibility of how bad we did as a team on me cause i take it as motivation so it can help me get better and prepare me in life
