What is crazy is not only I have stuck with football, but most of the team I first started playing…

At the beginning of this semester, there were many goals that I need to accomplish for this semester.

When writing down these goals, I also wrote extra details on how to achieve those goals. My first goal was to make at least a 3.7 GPA. I felt that if I studied enough I could pull off this GPA. For one of my details of getting a 3.7 GPA, was that I…
