Personal Statement

Ever since I was 5 years old I have wanted to be in the NFL.  My dad always had football on and I would sit there and watch every  game on Sundays Mondays and Thursdays.  When I turned 8 I started to actually want to play.  So I went to my older brother's football practice and I would watch them.  I went to every game and at 1 of the games I met Brain Urlacher.  That made me want my dream even more.  He was my favorite player.  As I got older I noticed how much work it was going to be.  But putting in work never stopped me.  I never thought of giving up.  I learned I have lots of motivation and drive.  My academic goals for high school and collage are to get A's and maybe B's but I want straight A's.  I did have hard times in my life though all this I have tourrettes and my parents had a divorce.  I live with my mom and step dad.  My real dad has huntington's disease and he used to always  yell at me.  My mom and I would have to clean the house and I would get yelled at by my dad as I was cleaning.  So once I got old enough to go out and play with friends I would do that till dark.  My dads side of the family always told me I was the devil child, but my mom always said I was the 1 of my 2 brothers that I have the most potential and I was the most helpful.  I am always running around with friends playing back yard football.  I always wanted to be a line backer and running back.  I started playing tackle football in 5th grade.  But when I actually got in pads my football coach said I should play on the line so I always been a D end.  My dream is to make it to the NFL and be an inspiration and use my money for good things like donating to charities or to my high school.  I want to play some football and I want the next generation to look up to me.  I really love the game of football.  Football is the only thing me and my real dad bonded over.
