- Being the only one of my family to
actually make it to high school, using my siblings’ failures to drive my success - that’s really helped me
through high school.

- My grandparents always pushed my brother
and me to try our hardest. They don’t want us to be like them and not finish high school. My
brother – he always wanted me to be better cause he didn’t finish high school either. He’s always
wanted me to try my hardest and believe in myself - to go on to bigger things.

- You really have to turn everything into a
positive note. Like, you have to use your past experiences as motivation to get
to where you want to be, to make your ancestors proud.
