Kentwan Balmer, From Sorry to Standout
Posted Jul 25, 2008
"I might not have had the best car or the best clothes in high school, but I had my family. We had some tough times - no lights, sometimes no water, no heat. That’s anybody. That’s no sad story, that’s just life. It got rough, and hard times come and go, but I grew up with a family who loves me through thick and thin. I hope I have that here in San Francisco too with the 49ers family."
