When he is not in school and playing his respective sports, he enjoys being able to play soccer with his friends.
What does this scholarship mean to you?
This scholarship means a lot to me. It has given me an opportunity to attend college without any financial worries.
Who is your role model?
My role model is my mom because she has stuck by my side and supports every decision I make.
What is your favorite sports memory?
My favorite sports memory must be playing my first game back from a major injury.
“Diversity remains an important aspect of my life and it taught me a lot of things, I would never trade it for acceptance”
