[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1213603, member: 86934"] My story was maybe a little different than some others... I was a bit of a git at a pre teen, then as an early teen I was drug dealing for a local gangster. A good friend I was in school with, who was a very good athlete, student and person made his dad aware I wasn't being the best high school student I could be. He started driving me to rugby training, where I enjoyed and excelled at being a bit violent on the pitch. I continued to get I to trouble, but the more trouble I got into the better I was at playing rugby, it felt like I was weak and pathetic in life, bit when I crossed that white line I became worth something. Long story short, my friends dad may well have saved my life by finding me in a drug den one day when I no showed for school, dragged me there literally kicking and screaming in my underwear, walked me down the long drive of the high school in just my underwear and told me the next time I tried to fail at life he would do it without the underwear. I tell the story all the time how rugby and my friends dad saved me from a life of crime and failure... [/QUOTE]
