I have a ton of dreams… Goals… Intentions…
My very first dream, as a child, was to actually become the first woman to play for the NFL. Now I am currently 31 years old and so out of shape. And that dream left me years ago but it was still my first dream.
I was good and I don’t mean for a girl! I have two brothers one older and one younger. And the three of us, on a team, we were definitely un-stoppable. My older brother could throw very well so he was always the quarterback and my younger brother was just fast so he was always the running back. And I had this weird fascination with hitting people. So I was always safety or on defense. This one guy got so mad at me one time because I just literally ran him over, mind you were still kids, that on the next play he literally clotheslined me! OMG that s**t hurts! I had been playing football from before I can remember and that was the first time I was like,” ahhh, that hurt!”
Again I have two brothers so they were looking like OK…. so we’re playing football and that’s our sister…. should we do something… or shouldn’t we because she’s tough but then again she’s still a girl… At the end of the day they didn’t end up having to do anything because his father was watching us play and whipped his butt for #1 having bad sportsmanship and #2 for clothes lining a girl LOL.
It wasn’t until people started telling me that I needed to be more realistic about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life that I realize, I wasn’t going to be able to play in the NFL. Mind you, I’m only 5’2″, the most I’ve ever weighed was when I was pregnant and I got up to fit 150 pounds. So I’m small and I’ve always been small and everyone always told me that if I ever got a chance to play if NFL I would more than likely get killed on my first play; which didn’t bother me. I always said I would prefer to play in one play and get killed doing what I loved then to be too afraid to just not do it.
But I guess I got over it, it took a while though. I remember any time I told anybody about that dream I would practically start crying. I saw a girl, probably on my newsfeed on Facebook, that had gotten accepted into a college on a football scholarship, OMG, she is my hero! I’m going to follow her and I hope and pray that she makes it to the NFL if that’s what she wants.
People have always told me that they have a girls team or I can play touch or flag but that’s not what I want, I wanted to be the first woman to play for the NFL! I wanted to play with the guys, with the big dogs, with the absolute toughest competition there is out there. It’s like an incredibly amazing basketball player, female, who wanted to play with the guys because that’s where the challenge is, you know?
Her name is Antoinette ‘Toni’ Harris and I am going to live vicariously through her although she doesn’t know me, she knows nothing about me, I know her and she has to get as far as she wants you for the both of our sakes. I still get sad when I think about not achieving or even pursuing that dream. I don’t know, I think it’s too late, again I’m 31 and I know they say nothing is impossible and you’re never too old to live your dream but I don’t know.
That’s sad right, I am the founder of a society called The H.A.P.P.I.E.R. Today Society and we discuss our goals and our dreams and I try to motivate and inspire and keep that positivity in peoples lives so that they can achieve any and everything they put their minds to but then, at the end of the day, my first and purest dream I unfortunately honestly feel like will never come true.
P.S. I love me, I love my God, I love my Baby Boy, I love my Hubby, I love my Family, I love my Friends, I love my Support System!
