Probably one of the best quotes I have ever heard. I know that I am not going to do that because I am kind of making up my mind but that's a great alternative.

See, I feel obligated as well because I COULD be playing. I just don't have anymore effort to put towards it because I have been let down every single time. I would rather focus that energy on something else. I'm necessarily giving up on football but opening my options more to my life. With that said, I also have a job/internship/shadowing experience that I can take part in. I think that would be more beneficial then playing football.

"While I was a student in FIRST, it was all about becoming inspired. Now as a mentor/engineering student, it's all about making sure learn everything I can so I can carry that on inspiration for future generations while having a hell of a lot of fun!"
