My Life
Ever since I was little my parents have always called me a leader. I didn’t believe it until I was in junior high and became the quarterback of the football team at my school. My very first football game in 7th grade in was probably one of the biggest moments in my life.

I am a very proud person and because of this pride I place this unnecessary fear of failure in a very large part of my mindset. I know when I am on the field I am in control and no one can stop me. I would like to take this fearless attitude off the field and into daily
