For the first 14 years of my life, I was a happy child who enjoyed sports and had few worries. Then one day in the summer, before freshman year, all that changed thanks to a camp in Jacksonville, a football camp recommended by my coaches. It was called FCA, Fellow Christian Athletes. Let me tell you first off, I was not at all the same person after this camp. For one thing, I was totally ignorant to any understanding of the bible and to what was really important. I assumed I knew all…

In high school, you see the soccer players, the football players, the track team and many other sports teams on the football field. On the court you see volleyball players and basketball players playing as "sports teams", but you never hear of the other team in their bows and skirts being referred to as a sports team.

Senior year was the last hoorah my friends and I had together before college. The first day of senior year I walked into school, it was almost as if I could smell the freshly pack of new pencils being opened. I could hear the squeak of the girls new flats on the floor and the music coming from everyone's headphones in the hall.
