Feeling Old but Proud with my Chest Stuck out Far And High!!! .....About 3 weeks ago I went to my little cousins wrestling tourney. There I met a 17 year old 119lb wrestler that happens to go to my High School Alma Mater. He placed 3rd in State last year and is a smooth kick a!@ wrestler! I got a chance to talk to him at the tourney - I said Im Marques Jackson, I went to Sumner and before I finished my sentence he said yes I know,you won State! Your picture and your records are in our wrestling room at Summer. So I immediately felt cool then; and I continued to talk to this young man and gave him advice and answered questions and wished him luck this coming school year! Fast Forward to tonight..... As I was checking out my groceries at Price Chopper here in The Dotte. I already knew the checker and he also goes to Sumner. He asked me if I knew his friend, E Brown? At first I drew a blank and then I remembered that was the bad a!@ wrestler from my alma mater! Anyway the Price Chopper checker proceeded to tell me that and I quote ...E Brown was so excited and pumped that he met you and he appreciated words of wisdom from a legend of Sumner Academy Wrestling! I literally was speechless and proud and just amazed! Its been over 17 years since I won state for my high school but yet a 17 year old young man looks up to me and this accomplishment. I guess its kind of like life going full circle???? I remember the people who were older than me that I looked up to and so forth! Its just surreal that now Im on the other side of it and plus a realization that Im getting old! However just a super cool experience overall and Im definitely going to check this young man out during wrestling season as well as support my alma mater, The SAS!!! #sabres #blueandsilver #paralleljackson #dottelife
