I would first like to thank God because without him none of this would be possible, I would also like to thank my mom because without her daily sacrifices and her support I would not be where I am at today. Special thanks to the Warren Academy for taking me in when I was 12 and mentoring me and supporting me throughout my journey. Also big shout out to the faith mentoring program for being a mentor and pushing me and continuing to believe in me! I would like to give a BIG thank you to Coach Huffman and the coaching staff and my teammates at Bellevue West High School. You guys supported me and treated me like family and pushed me to become an elite athlete! I can’t thank all of you enough. Thank you to Coach Joseph and the coach[ing] staff at NU for giving me this amazing opportunity and at this time I would like to announce my commitment to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln GBR
