Being a young man is always difficult and navigating through high school is a unique experience for everyone. Especially for a young man with hopes of becoming a football star. All throughout my football days I was a star until I wasn’t. Playing football has been some of the best times I’ve had in high school and also the reason for some of the worse days I’ve had in high school. From scoring touchdowns to being benched. Having undefeated seasons to not so undefeated seasons. I detail the pleasures of having a high school sweetheart and juggling a forever changing home life.
