Everyone dreams some good and of course there’s some nightmare “story of my life” to be exact, my story how I let my good dreams turn into a nightmare instantly. So there I was at the age of 8 years old I was tired of the typical school every day & trap in the house lifestyle, I didn’t know what I wanted to do as a child, but I always wanted to do something, I’ve seen my brother who I looked up to my whole life a high school soccer superstar and then you have my sisters all 4 of them doing different types of sports track, basketball and etc. So there I was the youngest in the family asking my father can I please play sports!

The fame started becoming more important than the game and I haven’t even got to high school never get the big head if you haven’t reach your goal yet, although my freshman year went exactly how I expected it to go I attended Auburndale high school, all year I maintain a 3.5 GPA and of course everyone known me from my great little league experience I had. Football season was great! My first high school touchdown was against Kathleen the score was 6-7 and we was down in the 4th quarter with 5 min left in the game & we had only need 1 point, the game was already hard for me due to the fact that my uncle had passed away in Haiti the night before , So when my play got called and that pass was threw to me I knew I had to make a statement and we end up winning the game 13 – 7 , the following game we played was against Lakeland and I was the only person to score that game which was another big high school memory.

It’s ridiculous how quickly your dreams turn into a nightmare with just one turn around. I can’t blame anyone but myself and now I am in this cold cell with my daughter on the way and feeling like my life was over with no diploma because I dropped out. The fact that the police officer told me I probably wouldn’t see my daughter born hurt worse and I had prayed everyday till my court date luckily, god really gave me a second chance at life and letting me get out and see my daughter born that’s when I realized that I have to tighten up and get my life
