ATHLETICS

                            ATHLETICS HAS BEEN A GREAT BRIGHT SPOT IN MY LIFE.  I HAD A GREAT HIGHSCHOOL CAREER RUSHING FOR OVER 3,000 YARDS IN MY CAREER AND 35 TOUCHDOWNS.  MY COLLEGE CAREER HAS BEEN LESS FLASHY BUT I HAVE LETTERED THREE OF MY FIVE YEARS AT UL AT LAFAYETTE.  IN 2001 I WAS VOTED SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE YEAR.  IN 2002 I EARNED A STARTING SPOT AND IN 2003 I FOUND MYSELF FIGHTING AGAIN FOR A STARTING SPOT IN WHICH I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO WIN.  I HAVE RECIEVED GREAT FAMILY SUPPORT IN ATHLETICS AND WITHOUT THEM I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP A LONG TIME AGO.
