It’s a long process and it’s basically six years that build up to one project and one moment, And to know that I accomplished that challenge to the best of my ability and made a positive impact felt really nice. It was good to finally have a pay off. And then I was able to march in the 2014 Rose Parade. It’s just one of those things that you never forget." “Most people don’t know this about me but I am a triplet.” “At the beginning of my freshman year I had trouble developing a solid friend group. I felt like I was kind of just on my own a little bit, And it just took me a while to find people that I naturally clicked with. I didn’t want to force myself to be anything that I wasn't, And I wanted to find a group that I could be myself with, Instead of putting a mask on and being someone that they wanted me to be.” “I'm really stepping out of my comfort zone with this project. I'm not usually one to express my emotions and inner thoughts and be vulnerable, But I think you need to step out of your comfort zone in order to grow. I’m not sure if I'm scared of feeling weak, Or if the scary part of being vulnerable is something that I don’t want to face.” “I fear spiders. I hate spiders. Also I am afraid that I’m going to perceived as someone who doesn't know what he's doing, Like a waste of time and space.” “I’m proud of my determination and willingness to always learn and grow. I recognize that I'm far from my greatest potential or peak of my abilities, And that there’s always room to learn and improve upon myself. I'm also proud of the fact that I make the conscious effort to always try to be there for others. I like to make sure that people that are close to me are doing well, And I try to be there to brighten their day. I like to see them smile. I like to be as much of a day brightener as possible.” “I’m ashamed of how I sometimes perceive myself, Like how I perceive my body and how I look. Sometimes I feel overlooked but a lot of it is just in my head, Like I'll think to myself 'Oh I don’t look good enough,' or I'll think I don't fit the part, And I shouldn’t do that to myself. I should just be confident and be who I am. I'm just trying to think less about what others think." “'You never know until you try' is a motto that I try to live by. Also, 'everything happens for a reason.' I believe that you just have to make the most of everything that happens. You don’t judge a man’s character by how he’s knocked down but by how he picks himself up and responds to the situation.” “I dislike my lack of confidence sometimes and the pressure that I add to myself.” “I love my family and I love my friends.
I love what the future has in store for me. It’s kind of a mystery and an adventure and it’s cool and exciting. I love what has happened to me because it’s kind of shaped who I am today.”
