Football is not a big sport in Los Angeles even since the Los Angeles Rams left for St. Louis in 1995. For me football has been my passion. I watched it, played it and even studied it. My father played in high school and I wanted to do the same. I was so excited when I made the team on my freshman year. I was happy that I got to be the free safety of the team.
