Tom Brady may have been a standout football and baseball player in high school, but he had some trouble deciding whether to use "your" or "you're."

Brady recently posted an English essay that he wrote as a senior at Serra High School in San Mateo, California.

Now a four-time Super Bowl champion and two-time NFL MVP, the younger "Tommy Brady" describes a life growing up in the shadows of his older sisters as a "small, pudgy, temperamental young lad" who was "their tag-along little brother."

Four years of high school matured Brady, however, and he learned to appreciate everything his sisters offered him. He even provides a little prognostication at the end of the essay:

And hopefully, just maybe, one day people will walk up to them [Brady's sisters] and say, 'Aren't you Tommy's sister?' or 'Hey, where is your brother?' Maybe ...

Despite an apostrophe issue and some awkward sentence structure, Brady earned an "A" from good old Mr. Stark.

Perhaps next Brady will post one of his high school physics papers on the complicated dynamics of inflation and deflation.
