“My greatest motivation to achieve my goals are my Mom, Aunt, and Uncle. I know that my Mom still has to pay some of her and my sister’s student loans off and so I don’t want her to have to worry about me. My Aunt got a full ride scholarship to Missouri and I feel like if I also got a full ride, I would make her proud. My Uncle is always givibg me advice on how to improve my game and I think he would be very proud if I succeeded based on the tips he has given me throughout the years.”
