re: When and Why did you become an LSU Tiger?

Was born in Honduras in 1993 and my father wanted my two older brothers and I to learn English and get a good education so we moved to New Orleans in 1998. My brother Mario who is 4 years older than me started following football a bit after we moved and he would always talk about how awesome the Saints were and then how awesome LSU was in football. Naturally, I followed his lead. So, in the process of learning the game around 2001 with the Saints and 2002 with LSU, I fell in love. Vaguely remember the 02-04 seasons. Didn't understand the magnitude of what was going on during the 03 season when we won it all cuz I was only 10. Really became a hardcore fan in 06 with J-Roc and crew. I remember that stupid Auburn game
Anyways, next up was deciding on whether or not I would be going to college and I knew since I was about 10 that LSU was the only place I wanted to be. 7 years later during my senior year of high school in 10-11 I got accepted
Both of my brothers couldn't make it to college, the oldest, who is 8 years older than me, went to trade school and my LSU fan brother Mario couldn't come because he takes care of my ill father. So, as a sophomore, I'd like to think that I'm fulfilling his dreams of coming here and my own along with making my family proud.
Forgive me for any typos or bad grammar
