*Scroll left for the emo roller coaster🎢🙋🏽‍♂️“ 
A special and brand new episode of YOUNG ROCK coming THIS TUESDAY on NBC. 

My freshman year at THE U (University of Miami) was a roller coaster of highs and lows. 

I got badly injured and had to sit out my entire season. 
I stopped going to class, team meetings and - like a fucking idiot - I left school in December without taking any of my midterms. 
Just said, I’m out ✌🏾 

I lied to my parents, coaches and teammates. Eventually, it caught up with me and I was placed on academic probation in danger of losing everything. My scholarship, opportunities etc. 

It was at a time in my life where it seemed like everyone was telling me I was fucking up - and I was. 

These days, it’s called depression. 

But back then it was called “get your fucking ass off the couch and get your shit together”. 

I was at a crossroads that so many of us go thru. 

I realized I wasn’t alone and asking for help isn’t a weakness - it’s our power. 

I turned my college life around, became academic captain of our football team and graduated with a Magna Cum Laude degree in scar tissue and fanny packs 😂✊🏾

Finally, a BIG SHOUT OF RESPECT & GRATITUDE to our phenomenal actor ulilatukefu who beautifully brought to life a very defining rollercoaster of my highs and lows. 

Thank you, USO.
