<speech time> you just gotta live life like you got no tomorrow. My grandpa always used to say, "sometimes your gonna feel like there's no point, but there's no point if you don't make yourself a point." My coach tells us that life will beat you until you are down on the ground begging for mercy. But the harder it hits, the more you have to fight to get back up. Life is a constant tug of war between keep going or give up, and give up will always seem like the easier option. But when I felt like there was no hope, I thought about it like this: if I would have given in, all that pain, all the hard work I put in would be for nothing. Like my coach says, football player or not, you have to find a way to keep moving forward, and you have to be willing to take the hits
