One of the most memorable days of my life that began my "chain" was back in the fall of 2004. My dad and I were driving home from my sister's soccer game and I told him that I wanted to play football. I was only about 60 pounds at the time, so it took a while for me and my dad to convince my mom to say yes. Since that day, football has taught me some of life's greatest lessons including: hard work, responsibility, and trust. Because of my size, I had to work a little harder than everyone else. That memorable day, back in 2004, was the beginning of the formation of who I am today.
