Joel's Story
Life
Well Classmates of 99 after graduation I went on to College and played soccer duh no big suprise there. I played all four years of College soccer doing very well and I even got to play in the pro ranks for a little bit I played on the Texas spurs which is a semi pro team right under the Dallas burn or what is now FC Dallas. I got injured and decided to retirefrom soccer. While I was in college I was studiny to become a math teacher and a soccer coach for the highschool level. After I got all finished and was doing my student teaching I decided I really didn't want to do that anymore. I started waiting tables and bartending when I came along a little thing called Poker Texas holdem mainly. I got fixated on that and now here I am a professional Poker player I have played in the World series of Poker the one you see on ESPN all the time and I am on tour. Pretty crazy how things happen a...Expand for more
nd you never would have thought. Well now I am in Australia just living here for the fun of it playing poker and relaxing on the beach. I have been in situation where I have won and lost 40,000 dollars in one night but after it is all said and done it usually evens out. Thats how life is full of obsticals but it always has its balance.
School
Oh wow tons of memories I would have to say definately Anna was the biggest crush. I would have to saw the funniest times would have to be Mrs Reynolds English Class. Alot of weird things happened there. Greatest moments were makeing the game winning catch that got poteet football team into the playoffs (great throw by the way josh) and also being crowned the districts MVP in soccer. I guess i am more than just a Fast white boy but I guess that does help. I think that is about it that i can think of right now I am sure I will add more later on.
