This football camp experience was insane. Our daily routines involved breakfast, 2 hour training, lunch, 2 hour training, dinner, and then another 2 hour training. Honestly it was incredibly draining, but it was amazing to experience. My coaches taught me college level drills and tactics during training and I ended up learning so much more than I expected. I met a lot of new people who shared my interests and we would have fun after practice in the break room playing pool and chess. I got tackled. So. Many. Times. But that was part of the experience and I enjoyed every tumble, I'm glad I didn't break my spine through all of them. This experience also taught me to be independent, when camp was over I personally found how to get back home to the Bronx. I paid for a peter pan bus and an Amtrak train, where I got to view some more of Connecticut's area. As I jokingly told my friends, "I feel so adult-y now", and I do. I can take responsibility and solve problems on my own. Camp was so amazing and I honestly can't thank all the donors enough, you have all helped me achieve something I could never do on my own. I also feel more confident in participating in college football when I grow up. My only regret honestly, was not asking more people for their contact information.

I am going to attend US Sports Contact Football Camps this summer, and it's very exciting. Everyone tells me that this will be a good opportunity for me to open up considering my introverted nature, and I agree. It will be enjoyable to be surrounded in teenagers my age that also enjoy football, and to also be able to be taught by a real coach. I wouldn't have been accepted if it weren't for the help of wishbone and everyone else that donated. I've always fantasized about playing in college football, and this camp may be the first step in achieving my goal some day!
