On draft day I remember not even watching it. I was projected to go late or even undrafted so I spent that day at my moms house hoping for a post draft call to sign to a team as an undrafted free agent. No friends over and no party planned I was getting ready to go to sleep and could hear my mom watching the draft still when I heard the phone ring, I picked up and was told I was drafted to Orange County right after I heard a scream from my mom and she came running in hugging me and crying tears of joy, proud of her baby boy. Knowing I finally made it big I took my mom to the biggest and fanciest restaurant in town to celebrate. The next day I received a whole lot of calls from friends who planned a big party hosted by the city who finally produced a professional athlete. The celebration took place in the town square which had food vendors a field for the kids to play football and even a local band made up of teens. At the end a huge fireworks show was performed as a sendoff before I left to Orange County.
