Ray Lewis

Ray Lewis grew up without a dad. He was heart broken, all he wanted was a father figure. Ray was always waiting for a father. He started to play football when he was six years old, his coaches were always telling him that he was great, but when he got home his mother was working three jobs. He had nobody to brag to, no one to tell what he did in practice. When in high school his coach showed him the year book from 1975 and in that book were the records all the records were held by his father. Ray was so angry that he promised   he would break all of the records his dad held, he did and everyday he trained harder and harder. Every time one of the records was broken he would take it home and scratch it up. Ray lived a tough life as a kid through high school in collage he and his father still had a hard time communicating their feelings about each other. When he was drafted in 96 by the ravens his father was disappearing and reappearing in his life often for money. His father had become a huge drug addict. It got so bad that finally Ray got a call about it and offered to pay for his rehab. His father said no he said that he had to start caring for him self along with his children. After almost 5 months of rehab he was released a new man. Then ray drove to his home and his father and he got into a car and just drove 6 hours north to where his fathers father was. All of that time Ray let his father speak his mind about everything, Ray just let him talk. Now both are back to terms with each other and are now truly father and son.
