Michael Oher

 Michael Oher, a young star in American football is a perfect example of what it is to be a sporting superstar. His early years were not an easy one. His father was in prison the majority times, and his mother was a heavy user of alcohol and drugs. This meant that his performance was not great in school until he was taken into foster care. He was later adopted by a couple after having spent time in foster care. He was in the midst of love and affection from the adoptive parents, which was a blessing for him in his daily life. As time passed, he improved in school and grew his passion for sports. He was determined in order to improve his grades and make it through the 'National Collegiate Athletic Association' (NCAA). He was driven by his passion for the sport and was determined to become a great player. He received scholarships from numerous universities , and was even invited to be part of their team. However, he chose the "University of Mississippi" which was the school of choice. Since then he has been climbing the ladder of success, step by step and is now one of the most well-known names in American Football. He has many prizes and awards to his name, aside from the many wins that he's won throughout his career to date.
