This is the moment I accept the most challenging times will always be behind me and in front of me.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They’re the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.

If you want to be great at something, there’s a choice you have to make. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be.

It’s the one thing you can control. You are responsible for how people remember you—or don’t. So don’t take it lightly.
