A letter from October 21st, 2016

Hey Kale, it's me (you) from eighth grade. First of all, you better be going to a D1 college to become a collegiate athlete, and if you're not, I'm going to be highly upset. I hope that you're showing your butt off at Round Rock High and that you have college scouts looking at you. I know you're an amazing athlete and you've never thought you could actually make it anywhere big like the NFL, but you can. Work your butt off and make mom and dad proud. Haha do you remember dad's old girlfriend Sara? Well, she's moving out today, THANK GOD! When you were in eighth grade, you got girls like crazy so you better not let that change. You are going to college next year and that's going to be a blast. Here's something else that's random. I don't know if you'll still remember her, but right now, you are hating some of your classes! You can't speak a lick of french to save your life besides, je joue au football americain. Another thing is that, you love to bass fish, I hope that if you aren't going to college to be a D1 athlete that you're at least striving to become a pro angler. Sean is still living with us right now and it's really going to suck when he moves out. I love that kid to death and it's hard to believe he's already 20. I know that you and Sean have done some stupid thing like stealing the construction barrel on the way back home from Coupland at like 1am. Speaking of Coupland, last Sunday was my birthday and we went to go see Toby Keith in concert and we saw Hannah Miller there. Isaac, Cole, Landon, Daveyon, Jamar, and Garret are my best friends and I hope they're still around when I'm a senior. On Tuesday, we played the Walsh Wildcats and we got demolished. The score was 36-0 in the 3rd quarter when Landon was lifted off the field and taken to the hospital. That was a crazy night. We sat in the hospital like any true friend should do and I hope you still have that personality in you. I hope you've been to Vegas again, I hope you've got your own vehicle, and I hope you are being successful in school. I can't wait to see this when I'm older and I know you're going to remember writing this. I wrote a lot for you too so you better be thankful of yourself. Right now, I'm playing quarterback because Landon is injured and I just scored a 70 yard touchdown against our defense. The play was box screen and go, Julius Jeter lined up as the inside receiver and took off, I dropped back to pass it, but Elliot Lee came and tried to hit me, but I spun off of him and turned on the jets. Seventy yards later and I was gone.
