I have decided to go to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville.
After viewing all of my options, it's the way I want to go. I had alot of Advice and I thank all of you for giving it, but I've decided SHSU because of the closeness to home, the cost is much less than that of Hardin Simmons, and I know alot of people who go there, including 2 of my classmates, which will help me feel at home. The closeness to home is important to me because well, I live with my Grandparents, and have all my life. As of late, my Grandma has been sick on and off. She was diagnosed with colon cancer 4 years ago, beat it, and is still kinda fighting to build her immune system and has gotten pneumonia 2 times in the last month. My point: I don't want to have to have a 6 hour drive when something goes wrong.
I will also not be trying for the football team. I've been a part of a team my whole life and gave more to it than my studies alot of times. I know, I am going to miss football, but I know I am capable of graduating with honors if I have the time to apply myself. If I were destined for the NFL, then it would be a different story, but I think it's safe to say that it would be just for fun.
I'm sorry if I have disappointed anyone, but this is my decision and I stand by it. I'm a bearkat.
