Dream vs Reality

    Wai'anae, Hawai'i
    October 29th, 2013

    "I don’t know how the rest of the year’s going to go, but since it’s only the beginning of the year. So, I’m pretty good,” said Wai`anae High School Sophomore, Mosiah Brame, Junior Varsity Quarterback, when asked about his grades.

    All high school athletes are required to keep at least a 2.0 average in order to stay in their choice sport, as well as having no Fs in their core classes, and keeping a ‘clean’ record. No constantly unexcused truancies, violent behavior, or insubordinate reports are allowed by the athlete, else they would either be on probation or left to consequences deemed by their school.

     “I’ve always wanted to be a football player growing up,” Mosiah said. “...I plan to go to college, um, Ohio State.” To stand out amongst a sea of jerseys in high school, to show that they are a special player, one would dream-but the reality is more than just a flicker of imagination. Pro-football leagues, like the NFL, only draft players who have at least 3 years of college experience

     “I know some students have qualified enough to play football at the next level, but weren’t able to make score and whatnot, so weren’t offered,” stated Wai`anae High School Counselor, Shane Nakamura.

    Chances are very minimal that one could get into a decent college on a full-ride scholarship for football. 

    Though chances are slim, it doesn’t stop the players from hoping, and loving the sport they play, “Everyone in my family played football, I wanted to take on the torch, you know, pass on the tradition,” Mosiah said.
