Coming of Age: A Journey of Growth, Culture and Spirit in Cajun Land

By Joseph Murry

Everyone in life has a story. Some stories are dramatic, some are sorrowful and some are rather normal and ordinary. However, as we go through life, we come to realize that no matter how ordinary we may consider our own story, there is certainly meaning and uniqueness in it, and perhaps a few lessons to be gleaned; lessons which may enlighten, entertain and even inspire some in their own journeys in life and their stories yet to be written. This is my story of how I grew through my college days to become what I had only dreamed I could become and about the wonderful experiences along the way that helped us, my teammates and I, write a rich history of success and accomplishment in the legacy of USL athletics. It is a story of struggle, doubt, courage, tenacity, fate and most importantly love. It is set at a time in the world that the "times they were a changing". It is a story of transition and growth in society, in cultural values and in our own growth and personal values. It is a story about a group of guys who all landed in that one place at that one time. Some of us chose to be in that setting and some of us were chosen to be in that setting. We were a melting pot with diverse backgrounds and cultures, yet were learned to come together in harmony to make history for ourselves and for USL. We chose USL or somehow USL chose us to do great things, make history, and "Come of Age".
