Now sit and think about the line you were raised to follow, while I tell you how my line changed in my life. Growing up I followed and believed everything my mother told me.

season of my life. I captained the team to a state championship and scored the winning goal in the championship game. This drove me further into a pit of poor academic performance. I began spending more time with friends and out of the house than time on school. Cutting classes became something not only I, but the school was used to.
