As I picked up my gym bag and headed to the front door, I turned to Dad, "Don't forget about my geography homework."

"Don't worry, son, I'll have it ready before school tomorrow."

Then I turned to Mom, "My Science project is in two days, Mr. Waldo is looking out for something spectacular."

Mom smiled, "Don't worry I have something up my sleeve. He'll have no choice but to give you an A+."

I opened the front door "Thanks, I'll see you guys after practice."

As I was closing the door I heard my ten year old sister, Lexi, ask for help with her homework. Mom told her that as soon as she finished with my science project she would be available.

Hey my name is Derrick.

Growing up I dreamed of becoming a scientist. Mom bought me all the science kits and even a white lab coat when I was younger, but as I became a teen Dad pushed for me to become a football player.
