Growing up, I was always a child that felt destined for greatness, even before I know what it was. Maybe it’s because my mother and aunt were so focused on me having a great education that they home-schooled me with vocabulary tests before I could even enroll in pre-K. From there, anything requiring my intellect became second nature.
As I grew older, my interests broadened to include the first sport I loved. Basketball. I would spend hours on end shooting on the goal outside of my grandma’s house in Texas. I ended up getting trained by some guys that worked on the military base who wanted to start a rec league with the young kids from the area.
