I wanted to be a teacher first then a doctor. I actually went to college to be a doctor and then while in school got deployed to Iraq and when I got back the school wouldnt let me back in (I was pre med my sophmore year) for withdrawing my classes to leave for the war. I went to the school and told them AGAIN (had to show proof before I left) why I withdrew and they still wouldnt let me in (without paying out of my pocket...I had a scholarship and grant) so I never got to be the teacher or the doctor but I'm young so I still have time. What did you want to be when you were little and are you doing that now?

Well like most young kids involved in sports, I wanted to be a professional athlete, a basketball player specifically. But obviously that wasn't too realistic so I outgrew that pretty fast. Then going through high school I thought engineering would be my future but now that I'm in college I've decided against that. Right now my plan is to get some sort of business degree and then get my masters degree in sports management, hopefully setting me up to have a future job in sports. That would be my dream as of now because I could spend the rest of my life around sports even if the pay wasn't that great.
