I plan on having a degree some where in the criminal justice field as a back up plan if the National Football League do not work out for me. If i get a chance to make it to the league i want to get enough experience and come back and coach college football. Coaching college football has been a big part of my dreams. I think that you have to play college football first, so that you can have good knowledge about the game. And i think that the players will respect you more when you already played the game of football. Coaching football is a lot of hardwork and their are plenty of rewards to it if you are successful in this game.
Well since my dreams was becoming a football coach i went and talked to my own personal coach about the life of being a college football coach. My position coach name is Mike Simmons he is from Illnois and he played in the NFL for about six years. He played for the Buccanneers and the Chargers. He said "coaching college football is a lot of hardwork, time consuming, and at the end of day it is also fun." I asked him why he said all those things and he told me this: the main reason that it is time consuming because coaches have to watch a lot of film on the other apponent an draw up all the formations that they run and with that it become time consuming. Because sometimes they don't leave the office until like two in the morning and they have to turn right back around and be back to work at eight in the morning and later on that they have to go to practice later on that afternoon. Finally, when he said 'it fun at the end of day" i knew what he meant. Being a coach is fun and yes it has a lot of hardwork to it but like i said if your pretty good at what your doing there are some rewards. If you have a good season; the players and the coaches get to go to a bowl game. Bowl games are great and from his stand point thats what he love the most about being a college coach. The coaches get to go on dinner dates with their wives and then they have their own little sweets to kickback when they are tired. In the begining its a lot of work but in the end it can become one of the most interesting jobs in America.

Without Technology
This project was a fun and interesting one. But it really didnt effect me to much because i am not to big on use technology. I have a phone but you will hardly find me on it. Probably the hardest thing for me was not to use my ipod. I love my music and it seems like i can't get myself in the zone when i'm not listening to it. When you dont have technology it kinda seems like your cut off from the rest of the world. A lot of teenagers hardly ever read the newspaper but they will watch the news to see whats going on. When i didnt watch television i kinda felt weird but i got use to it and i just went to sleep for the rest of the night. I now recognize how important technology is in our daily life. Everything we do or probably facilitate ourselves with consist of technology.
