Everyone knows that football is a big part of my life, but football won't last my whole life. One major thing that I am most passionate about is my family. From my mother to all of my little cousins. They are what drive me to be successful in my career. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today. I wake up every morning at the crack of dawn and I have a decision to make: whether to go about my day like anyone else or start the day knowing that I can better myself throughout the day. The decision isn't hard, all I have to do is get up and look at the pictures of my family around my house and that's what pushes me to be a better person each and every single day. One experience that has made me the person I am today would be the birth of my little sister. She looks up to me for everything and I want to be that person for her that she can look up to and know that I'm doing the right things in life. I want her to be successful in her own endeavors in life, but I also want to be able to set a path for her and assist her on her way.
