While I was looking around my room I’ve come to realization that I am now officially a college student. The thought of longer class and restless nights bring somewhat excitement and eagerness to my life. The life of being a student athlete in college brings great joy to my state of mind. I can’t not wait till the fall semester when the rest of the incoming freshman in our class get on campus. That will be fun to hangout with old friends and make new ones and meet new people.

            The mental state of mind that I had when I lasted showered. I thought to myself about how blessed I am and how I am so thankful to God for blessing me to be where I am today in my life. Football was also another thought that came to mind. I am ecstatic to get to workout with the rest of the team and eager to get to practice and prepare for the games on Saturdays. I love the fan base that we have. They are truly the greatest in the world. Having a support group is always important, to have someone push and support everything and every aspect that you do.

            When I went to bed last night I thought about how I was so happy to have my English homework completed and was able to finally get in bed and get some sleep. College is really an all day process or work and more work, so finally getting a chance to get some sleep felt great.

            My favorite class in high school was African American history. I think it was great class and a life lesson to learn my historical background. Learning where you come from is always good to know. Mr. Mullen was my instructor in African American history class. He always wanted to see his students care themselves with dignity and do very in life and become something great and inspire others to do the same.

            The most recent debate I have with a teammate of mine was over where our next meeting was with the coaches. You never want to be late to anything as a student but especially as a student athlete. Being early to meetings is always good and also leaves a good impression on coaches and teachers as well. Never be late to any classes or meetings because the end result is that you will have to face the consequences and take full responsibility of your actions. That is how you handle that type of situation.

            What I am currently thinking about right now is this homework assignment right at this moment. Time management is also on my mind because everyday as a student athlete we have meetings constantly all day everyday. So I am taking advantage of the free time I have now to complete homework earlier in the day so that later on at night I am not stressing over getting assignments done. The best feeling to have as an student athlete is to know when all of your work is complete and that you have time to chill ad relax and do whatever you please at that point in time.

            My community looks like the projects. Well at least my community in Omaha does. Back in Houston I really can’t say since I haven’t been back to Houston in about a year. Back in Omaha violence have a major impact in my community. By playing sports and school activities I was able to stay out of trouble and achieve my goals. I thank God for blessing me and putting where I am at today.
