this relates to my life in many ways ,it reminds me of my childhood days.growing up for me was difficult at some points due to the area i was living in. the streets were so dangerous and half the times my mom wouldnt let me outside b/c so much was going on out there.I still didnt know that many people so i didnt want to go outside anyways but everytime i go outside i see kids playing football and there were times that i wanted to play and they would not let me.One day ,I came back around there with my older brother and we were playing catch and i said to the guys "let me play or else!" my brother is going to beat you up.when they let me play they werw actually shocked by how good i was.since that incident, they would always let me play and they would even beg me to play to some extent. till this day dont nobody bother anymore .
