That was a tough obstacle in my life but I had the support from my parents and family to push me to stay there. With that being said me staying there turned out to be one of my best lifetime memories because I meet great people and coaches and also made me mature very fast and made me the man I am today. Also my football experience there was great it made me realize how good of a player I am because I was at one of the best JUCO in the country and that year we made it all the way to the national championship game and fell short to East Mississippi College. It was a great experience and I overcame a huge obstacle that brought the best out of me to make me the player I am now.
