This week was my little brothers birthday i almost forgot about it but luckily i didnt. I didn't enough time to get him a present but he did get to see me on his birthday so i hope that my presence was good enough for him. Me and him never really fought that much, its was most me me and my older brother fighting so me and my little brother were close. I was also close with my older brother to but since he is in college last year my senior year in high school just made me and my little brother closer. He played on the same football team as me i just wish he didn't get hurt so that he could have played i belive he would have started football with me as a freshmen if he didn't hurt his ankle.I never told him this because i want him to keep working hard because he is already good but i dont want him to settle i want him to be better than man than i was in high school. My little brother got a chance to play at CF high school this year a chance i wish i would have gotten but i did not attend that school right now he is living the dream that i always dreamed about and seeing him play makes me proud and he proves people wrong saying people from the small schools are not good enough for big schools like CF

This week we talked about animals dreams in class and as i read the book i absoutely hated it but i was able to force myself to finish reading it. After we had the discussion about the book and certain quotes in the book im starting to think that maybe the book is not so bad it just had deeper meaning and you really have to stop and think to understand certain things that are happening in the book. I remeber the quote "its what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around", i read that and it helps you cope with something that may be happening in your life right now or even give life new meaning

Time

Time can be a good thing as well as a bad thing.Time helps us tell what day or time of the month it is but time is so much more than dates and times to be at certain places. In life you learn that you never know how much time you have so enjoy life(time) while you have it and share it with people that you love and want to be around. Just like in a game of any sport eventually the time will run out make it worth it

I am finally starting to get the hang of college but it is alot differnt then high school but i knew that before i even entered college.This has been a busy week alot of homework in most of my classes going to football practice trying to get ready to play the first team in are iowa football conference and going to study table to do homework. I get calls from differnt family members telling me to keep working hard and everything will work out sometimes its hard to believe because everything seems so hard right now but at the end of the day i do believe that things will get better and work out. I like being in college but i must admit i miss seeing my family i see my big sister because she goes to wartburg but my older brother is in college in atlanta and my younger brother is still in high school. I never thought i would miss them all so much especially my parents because they were so strict but now it brings joy every time i get to see them, i guess its like the old saying says you never know how much you love something or someone until its gone or your away from them. My family has always been their for me so i know that they are here for my now praying for me, i know god has a plan for me in life, so i will keep working making myself as well as my parents proud im out peace.

new year

This week we started class and it officially became a new year of school for me. Things have truely changed in high school we never got home work hardly in the first week let alone the first day, now in college i just about got homework in every class. I can not complain because i knew going in to college that it wasnt going to be easy so all i can do is get the work done and get help if i need it. Football has been going for about a month now and with school starting i am just trying to balance out the two together thats what most of my week has consisted of. I don't know which was harder waking up and 6am to lift for football or going to class with no dinner at 6:30 for a night class, although things are harder now sooner or later it will all become a routine that i become used to. Now that i have finished all my homework its time to sit back, relax, hope the hawks win and of course the wartburg knights.
