After I Got Disciplined I Got Introduced To Football And Then After That Everything Just Took Off For Me. I Had A Lot Of Role Models: The Teachers, The Coaches. Watching Them Give So Much To So Many Students So They Can Be Successful In Life Basically Just Ingrained In Me That I Think It's More Gratifying For Me To Give Back And Than Just To Receive.
