is only one word that can be used to describe my middle school experience: awkward. My feet were disproportionate to the rest of my body and I hardly ever found a pair of jeans that fit. For the first week of middle school‚ the school nurse had to walk me to class with big puffy eyes. Not every day was as bad as that day‚ but there were definitely days that came close.

Football‚ to me‚ is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school. When I joined the team senior year‚ I didn’t realize what I was getting into.
