Hi, my name is Ricardo Andres De La Puente. I am 18 years old and am currently enrolled at Miami Dade College majoring in Business Administration. I attended Miami Springs High-School before and graduated with a 3.1 G.P.A. I played football, soccer and was enrolled in the Academy of Hospitality and Tourism for four years. I enjoy playing Call of Duty, working on my car and playing football with my friends. This is actually why I chose my topic on concussions in football. I played high school football for three years and in that period I have seen several of my teammates go down with concussions. It’s because of this I have decided to take on this current hot topic because I have realized that no concussion is alike and everyone is treated differently when they receive one. This is not the only reason why I have chose this topic; I am also doing this because I nearly received one as well. Luckily my school’s athletic trainer had told me I only had concussion like symptoms and it was not too serious and was able to return to play shortly after.
