Here's A Paper Tom Brady Wrote As A Teenager About Being Overshadowed By His Big Sisters
Tom Brady
Believe it or not, Tom Brady was once one of the least-successful athletes in his family.
The New England Patriots' star quarterback has three older sisters - Maureen, Julie and Nancy - who were all excelled on the field and the court.
Back in 1994, Brady, then a high schooler, wrote an essay for his English class about the influence his sisters had on him.
Brady posted that essay on Facebook today.
Some excerpts from the paper:
I was raised in a family where the expectations were high and the failures were inexcusable. I was a small, pudgy, and temperamental young lad that was always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
-----
My three sisters were all outstanding athletes in their own particular sports, as well as role models.
I was still their tag-along little brother.
-----
Don't get me wrong, I was very proud of my sisters and I love them with all of my heart, but I wished I would be recognized as an individual and not another "Brady."
-----
And hopefully, just maybe, one day people will walk up to (my sisters) and say, "Aren't you Tommy's sister?" or "Hey, where is your brother?" Maybe...
He got an A on the paper.
