Favorite Quote: "I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why... I succeed." -- Michael Jordan “Sometimes you feel tired. You feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you just want to... give up. But you have to search within you, you have to find that inner strength and get that motivation to not give up, and never be a quitter, no matter how bad you want to fall, and collapse.  And when you think you can not possibly stand up and you’re about to collapse… remember these things. Be proud of everything you have accomplished in your life, stand tall and keep your chin high, and the most important thing; remember that no one but you knows the amount of weight you are truly holding on your shoulders, and no one can judge you because of that.” Per Interests: Faith, Family and Friends, Exercise and Sports
