I've played football since I was young. The game always meant a lot to me and I knew I wanted to play at some point down the road. I will work harder than the other candidates and will put just as much effort in the classroom as I do the field. I value honesty, integrity, zeal, and perseverance. Football teaches me new lessons every time I step on the field, and furthering my football career would give me the opportunity to learn more lessons and make me a better person.
