Yeah, and I have like 30 minutes, so this could be a long one. I've talked to most of ya'll and I can kind of tell that high school has treated you fairly well, but with at least me something has changed. Well, ok so I'll come out with the honest truth. I've turned into a prep. Well, sorta. I mean it's like a kind of prep. I'm definitely accepted by the preps, which happens to be the "skilled" football players by the way (at least most of them). I'm not going to lie you, it's been a little more than an interesting experience. I have really enjoyed it. I'm not talking just about playing football with the guys, but kind of acting like them in class (which I have to admit is very necessary in english; it's a lot of fun to make Floreani mad). Right now I'm pretty much at the fork in the road. I'm enjoying being in football and being a "prep", but I know the guys don't full accept me, because I do things differently in some ways. For one I'm not the one cussing in the locker room and out on the field, or making the so called "lesser players" do the little stuff that needs to be done. Otherwise, yeah I act exactly like the preps. Now I'm at the crossroads of do I want to be the ie "football player" or the guy who plays football? My goal for this year has been to be the guy playing football or basketball or whatever it is. Yes, I want to be the "go to" receiver, and yes I want to be up with Jordan and Bill in the high scorers for the season in basketball, but do I really want to be the Garrett Medcalf or Jeremy Graves? Well, I would like to say no, but that would be a lie. At times I want to be like them and I do act like them. Sometimes I set myself apart, but I guess not enough. The one thing that I do like about the guys is that even though they can pretty much tell I'm trying to be both, they still think that's cool. I do admit at times I find myself looking more forward to a football game than spending time with my "real" good friends. Just thought I would bring a new approach to my advice entries. Who knows maybe I will look at this and change, you just never know. I know Clay is getting "incitefullness" right now, but everyone else stopped about the time of after the first "prep" character was mentioned. Oh well if you did read this, just think about this in your perspective. This isn't for the teenage drama king football player. Just plug it into your life, and see if it's happening to you, if it's not great (but I do question your honesty). Well, I guess homies would be a little inappropriate, so audios amigos~~Prof
