I loved my job so much, but in order to move up in the field that I wanted to endeavor which…

All while being the varsity captain of three different sports, and active member of leadership and some other academic clubs. I kept up my grades, I worked so hard to juggle everything. Most of all…

Entering my sophomore year of college I now grasp the concept and understand what being a student athlete embodies. My freshman year, my grades were average and my time management was very poor. I didn’t prioritize things according to importance but rather what I wanted to do, so homework and sleep suffered tremendously. For most people, being a student athlete really means being an athlete first then a student. But what many people don’t understand is that being a good student now, will benefit…

For confidentiality, I will refer to my mother as "Diane". Diane was head of the household while I was a full time student who only had a part time job at a local retail store.

When I was five years old I began taking karate lessons, I likely started taking these to get out of the house more and make friends. Growing up homeschooled, I didn’t and still don’t have a large amount of acquaintances, or friends as many call them. Thanks partly to my karate lessons; however, I was able to make some excellent friends, the strongest friendship I forged over the years, both in and out of karate lessons was with Kyle. Yes, me and Kyle, almost exactly the same age (he was older…
