Robert Nkemdiche

by Gabriel from Farmersville

My hero is Robert Nkemdiche. He is a college football player who plays for Ole Miss. Robert Nkemdiche went to Loganville Georgia Grayson High School. Robert was born on September 19, 1994 in Atlanta, Georgia. Robert only has one brother and no sister. Robert's brother was a line backer for Ole Miss too. He went to the same high school as Robert. He also played for Ole Miss. He was born on February 15, 1993 at Atlanta, Georgia. Robert's brother's name is Denzel Nkemdiche and they never had a father in their life, only a mother. The mother's name is Beverly Nkemdiche. The father's name is Sunday Nkemdiche. He never been there for Robert and Denzel.

Robert was poor and he lived in a down home but he still went to school to help his mom. When he went to school a lot of kids picked on him because he was poor and how he looked but he did not care. He still went to school to make a change. When Robert passed high school Robert was named high school junior of the year. He has been regarded as the Southeast's best high school football prospect since the early 1980s by ESPN.

When Robert passed high school he went to play for Ole Miss with his brother. but a lot of people started to know Robert and how he was living so they started to help his family by giving them a house and food. When Robert started to notice he knew he was doing something right. When Robert went to Ole Miss he made a lot of friends.

But now Robert is a football player but what's to go bigger into the NFL. But now he made his mom proud because she sees him play on TV. And showed everybody he could do it to. And a lot of people will try to bring you down but don't pay attention to others and what they say - just keep on moving.

When he was on TV his dad called and he did not want to speak to him but then he did. That is because he left him and his mom but Robert knows how to forgive so he forgave him one more time and his mom is now back together because what he did. And he is my hero. I what to be and I am trying to get there too.
