One day at the age of nine, I was at home hanging out with my sister. We were looking through the channels on the television and I seen my first football game. Surprise the game caught my eye. I saw Reggie White play the best game that I have ever seen. So the next day I asked my mother to sign me up for football. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It kept me out of trouble and away from the influences and the street life.

He also showed us how to work well with others.

As I got a grasped on the fundamentals of the game I started to get good at playing football. I started to see what it takes to be good. As it got to the end of my playing for the Pop-Warner I had a lot of coach's coming to my games to watch me play football.

I started to train to get bigger by lifting weights and the assistant coach was working with me on the plays and how to prepare for the games. After all the training I was able to try out for the team. I made it through all the cuts and I finally made it on the team.
