Whaler For Life

I am a good football player.  I want to go to high school football, college football, & maybe even to the next level my life is on the football field every year. During the week mostly on Sundays are my favorite days where I get to play and do what I love. Last year was my last year before I went to the high school level. It was also my breakthrough year were I had multiple touch downs yards and was a successful year.  Then going into this year was pretty hard because when it started my dad died. We were starting to get closer to him and he use to go to some of my games and he would tell me what I did good and what I could do better because he was very familiar with football. He went to the hall of fame at New Bedford High and broke numerous records in the 80’s that haven’t been broken or even been close to broken yet, and that’s what inspires me more today to do even better in football and work harder so I can beat those records and be the first person to do that which would be a huge success and great feat for me, my family and others.
