I pride myself for being a very helpful and positive young man, with a good head on my shoulders. I like to think that when the chips are low, we still have a chance to make things better. This theory helps with football because when you’re team is down, the natural response is to let it take you down too. I do my best on the field to recognize this in my teammates before it affects our game. When I see my teammates get discouraged, I tell them, we still have to fight to win and we aren’t going to win if we don’t care.

Off the field, I am a very nice and sincere person, very respectable and kind to everyone, especially my elders. I have great respect for my teachers and the support staff at school. They deserve the highest respect and have taught me a lot about life in general.

My future career plans are to become an architectural engineer. My goal is to draft and design more environmentally friendly buildings that save our earth, as well as, make it look better.

This year I’m going to be taking three honors classes, and independent study for engineering. I have been working very hard since middle school to make sure I stay on top of my grades, so I may have more opportunities available to me in the future. Without the help of my teachers, family & friends, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I fully understand the importance of working hard, to get what I want in life.
