Breakfast: Chris Polk's inspiring story of hardship

Chris Polk has dealt with his share of hardship. In one of his earliest memories with his mother, Polk is three years old, his brother is five, and his sister just a baby.

“She used to be studying for her nursing classes and we were living in the car,” Polk said in an interview with Texans Radio. “So, she would park under a street light, and feed us hot dogs from 7-Eleven and would stay up all night studying. I’ll never forget the day she got her nursing license. She changed our lives. Just seeing that.
