On a personal level, I am almost done with college and I have found that I didn’t really get to experience it like most other students.  During my time here at Western Michigan I was part of the football team and spent most of my time either on the field or at practice and when I wasn’t there I found myself stuck behind a heap of homework or classes that I needed to attend.  I am looking forward though to a time when I will be done with football and just have time to concentrate on my studies and possibly some free time and getting to see more of how the actual college student lives.  Overall I am glad that I had this opportunity to play college football it had been a privilege.

On a professional level, I want to learn enough to get a good job and be able to provide for myself and possibly others someday.  I want to take what I have learned here in my time and translate it into the real world.  I want to be able to know people in the right places that will help to further my career.  With what I have learned here I hope to go out into the real world and be able to make my mark on society and leave behind some kind of legacy when I’m gone.
