Football has been very helpful throughout my Jr. high, high school, and college schooling.  In Jr.high I didn't have many friends because I didn't know many people outside of the Catholic school I went to previously.  I joined football in seventh grade and was not very good I tried but struggled greatly because I was not the most in shape person ever.  I didnt like football to start but I eventually kept working at it and made it to this point that I can play college football.  I enjoy this and football has made the transition from high school to college a much easier thing to achieve than i had originally thought it would be.
