Work hard now, have fun later. This is an important quote that always keeps me sane and thinking right. My priorities are first and foremost before anything. If you just want to have fun all the time and never do anything productive you need to seriously reevaluate the direction your life is headed and try to do something about it if its not too late.

For a busy person like myself, it may be harder to keep following my guidelines and want to balance my work and play out more evenly, but I know that I can't. Being a student athlete is a very demanding lifestyle you must be ready to commit to. That's why there aren't a lot of us because not everyone is mentally strong enough to handle the work load of college classes and work. If you could put yourself in my shoes for one day you would understand why people like Sonia and I feel blessed to be in the position we are in to this day. It is easy to become nothing in life but it is hard to be somebody worth remembering.

Coming from the suburbs and seeing how hard times are for some of the people we grew up with, me and Sonia both chose another road that would take us away from the regular. To be blessed with an opportunity to be a wide receiver for a good school like southern is truly honoring and I am challenging myself to be the best player I can be off and on the field. It is important to keep chasing your dreams and working on your craft and priorities rather then always relaxing  or " just chilling." The harder you work now, the more fun you can have later on in life when your paid and retired from your long positive working career.
