What do you think of my life? Do you think im going to the NFL?
It all started when i was a little boy at the age of 9 years of age. I saw the Broncos vs Raiders on tv. I watched them and i said "thats what i want to do." i would go outside and toss the ball with my dad and my brother. i used to make one handed catches. I was naturally a small person. when i got to middle school, i already had in my mind that i was going to the NFL, and no one could stop me. I realized that i had competition. We had the 100 meter dash as a field event. i lost because i tripped. people made fun of me. They all said i sucked. They said i was never going to go to the NFL because i sucked, They all had never seen me play. I had to prove myself. And when i did prove myself, people would lie and say it never happened. The only people that thought i had a natural talent for football was my Dad and my brother. my mother and sisters all said i was too small. By the time i became an eighth grader, i was in a new school. There was a kid that everyone said was really good at Wide Receiver (my position). I said he wasnt better than me. Freshman year, we were on the same team. i didnt even get a chance to play that much because no one said i was good. THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ME PLAY!!! BUT I JUST DIDNT LOOK LIKE I WAS GOOD!!! but i was the fastest person on the team. not the strongest. i was bench pressing about 95 lbs MAX. bad huh? the entire year i only got in 2 plays the entire year. in one play, i did nothing. the second play i got in, i got a tipped interception and returned it for a touchdown. everyone was all over me, for the moment. the starters were pretty pissed though. I then left machussets and we moved to california. By that time, i was a good football player. I started at Wide Receiver on JV. I had become the type of person that took nothing and played my heart out because all of those years of not playing and being rejected by girls. once in eighth grade, a girl i liked sent me a not that said "Cory, i dont like you so can you please stop liking me. thank you." i was really sad and usually girls said i was handsome. I only had a GF in sixth grade BACK TO SOPRE YEAR. by the time it was december of 2009, i naturally was able to bench press 120 lbs MAX. (awful). then i said that i needed to get stronger than this. i started bench pressing everyother day. and squating. back in january of 2010, the #1 Recruit for football in the country went to my school. Rancho Verde Highschool in Moreno Valley California. I got a scholarship to the Florida Gators. His name is Ronald Powell. I said "im going to be like him" the kids laughed at me. one said "ok you started on JV, your not better than me or faster than me." that day we raced. I beat him so bad that i felt bad for him when i was done. Everyone cant wait until i play next year. they want to see if im good or not. As of now, i bench press 180 lbs. (o.k. for a varsity football player) I think im going to become a legend. OR I REALLY WANT TO BE! Thats MY whole DREAM IN LIFE. IF I SONT GO TO THE NFL MY LIFE IS OVER!!!
