Now that I’m older I know that nothing comes easy and if you really want to accomplish something and be good at it, you must work. In 2012 when I was about ten years old, I remember going to my cousin Jacob’s football game. He played here at Cesar Chavez, he was number 36 and played fullback and linebacker. At the start of the third quarter they were kicking off to Millennium, which was one biggest games of the year. They kicked the ball; my cousin was flying down the field hunting for the ball…
