I was honored to share my story recently with students and remind them of something I learned early in life:
No one is going to hand you anything. But when you show up, work hard, stay positive, and keep moving forward, opportunities will begin to present themselves.
To every student working toward something greater: Work hard, even when no one is watching. Stay humble. Stay hungry. Take care of people. And never let where you come from limit where you are capable of going.
My Best
