Plans after high school

Hopefully after high school I hope to find a job near my college and I continue to work and go to school. I know I want to continue playing football in college as well and I hope to get a walk-on scholarship for football while I'm in college.

Holiday Review

1. Over the break I got to hang out with the youth from my church for New Years Eve and it was a whole lot of fun. We pretty much played Madden 13 on the Xbox 360 the entire time.

2. My resolution for 2013 is to actually become closer to God and start being more faithful to Him.

3. Turning 18.
