I am an Immigrant Masters student who grew up in Toronto, Canada. Raised in a single-parent home. I lived in Toronto until I was 13. I was having some trouble in school and was on my way to either being in a juvenile detention center or ending up dead. My mom moved me out of the lowincome area and provided me (add “with”) a better life in a smaller city, where I began to play football and focus my aggression on something productive. Fast forward 5 years, I was in college trying to make a way for my family. I was an all-league offensive tackle in California and had over 20 division 1 offers and interest approaching my graduation from junior college. I had to go back to my country to work because I could not afford to graduate. The 20 schools turned into 1. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is where I attended on a full scholarship. I was committed to the program for 2 years. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, the upcoming season was canceled, which was my last year of division 1 eligibility. There was no pro day, no scouts, and I ultimately fell off the radar to play professional football. I continued to work out and kept focused on finishing college. I attended Western Colorado University a year later to graduate with my degree and finish what I started in junior college. Now I am working on my master’s degree at Arizona State University and looking forward to a career in sports psychology with aspirations to eventually work with a professional football team giving them mental health tips and ways to perform at their best on and off the field.
