Nepali Boy's Lead and Nut Graph

Alberot Salazar once said “An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding.” Jacob Young has been through a tough journey being a collegiate athlete. “A typical football day started at 6 am, and we would lift from 6-8. Then we went to class from 8-2, and then practice started at 2 and went till six. And then from 6 to 8 or 9 was my time to eat, take a shower, and do what I needed to do. Then I would go back up to the studio and work from 9 till 11,midnight, one o’clock in the morning. Then I’d go to bed and do it all over again. There were several times when I was thinking ‘What the heck was I thinking”

Jacob Young grew up in a small town called Fairfield Texas, a rural town that consisted of 3,000 people. Jacob spent most of his time there, going to Elementary, Middle and High School. “I grew up in a farm working cows and bailing hay.” Jacob Young then went to A&M to purse is passion for landscaping and architecture. Jacob studied at A&M from 2001 to 2005. After focusing on his studies for his Freshmen year he gets bored and decides to walk on the football team, where he was the starting punter for his Junior and Senior years.

  1. It's a great story but I feel like you used too many quotes in the first couple of paragraphs and are not saving the good ones for the end.
