As a child I would think that school was dumb and that sports are more important. Yes, sports are awesome, they are what really drove me to go to college and receive multiple amazing offers from many colleges. I am not dumb what so ever but I never used my full potential for school work. My whole life has been consumed by sports. If it wasn’t me having a game or practice; it was someone else in my family of 6. My parents were both amazing athletes and always preached to us that it really wasn’t all about sports. I was lazy in high school and was always in honors classes but wouldn’t get the grades i knew i could achieve. I would say I am extremely blessed for the opportunities I have had throughout the years. Me being lazy has caused me to catch behind others who were on top of their game with their schooling. I have had to catch up to everyone in college and even some high school to be at the same pace as everyone else. I regret not paying more attention in class and weighing out sports and my grades.
