I am a fairly ordinary young man,and my life has so far been rather quiet.I was born eighteen years ago in a little town in Ohio where my father started to practise medicine.I was the first of three children,and my younger brother,my sister,and I were close to each other,even though we had a few of the usual childish quarrels as we grew up together.I went through grade school without getting into any trouble,but in high school I began to get very proud when,as a student in
the second year.I became a member of the school football team.Ithought I was good enough to get by without studying,so I spent all my evenings watching TV
In my junior year I failed maths,and my father was more angry with me than I like to remember.I felt pretty bad about this,but it taught me a lesson,and in my senior year my grades were above average.
Now I aIn going to college and I am not going to let anything,even football.keep me from getting good grades.I believe I owe it to my father and mother to do the best work I can.They are making a sacrifice in giving themselves up to send me to college,and I intend to repay them with hard work.
