Growing up in tough neighborhoods taught me resilience, leadership, and the value of teamwork. I want to be known as someone people can count on — a strong leader who always pushes his team to be their best. I used Baseball as a tool to help me stay focused and away from the crime. Baseball kept me focused and determined with school. I wasn’t easily influenced by anything because I just wanted to play Baseball. I enjoy playing video games and sports, and I’m driven to start my own business, become a coach, or serve my community as a police officer. My dream is to work with brands like Under Armour, Rawlings, or Louisville Slugger — companies that represent hard work and excellence. I’m inspired by groups like Boys & Girls Clubs of America and The Hidden Genius Project that help young people rise above tough circumstances, just like I did.
