“My most embarrassing Middle School moment or story was, I think it was probably… so at the beginning of the Eighth grade school year I had really bad bronchitis. When I came to school with a really bad cough, I had known a couple people on my football team had been calling me cancer, but it was like a joke for football as a nickname. So when I came to school, my teacher goes, ‘Who’s coughing?’ And I raised my hand like, ‘Hi, I’m Austin.’ And she goes on to say, ‘Okay hi, I am going to call you dying Seal.’ And then everyone in the room laughed, and even I laughed. It was just a funny moment.”
