"Mom have you seen my jersey? I need the blue one for the scrimmage game today!" came the voice of my 15-year-old son. Of course I knew where it was. I knew where everything was. If I didn 't, nothing in this madhouse would get done on time. "Check the dryer, Drew. Lindsey, do you have everything you need for your soccer game?" I called out.

When I partially tore my ACL I had to show grit not to give up playing football. It was during warmups for a football game in 7th grade. The offense was all lined up with me as an outside receivor with Derrick on the inside. When Nick hiked the ball I raced to the cornerback ,who happened to be Ethan Goodwin, and started blocking him.
