This past Saturday, I had the privledge to speak to over 1,000 high school students at the UMBC junior day. The students were accompanied by there parents and there was standing room only. I shared my story and experiences with the students. I challenged the students to set their goals high and to always strive to be the best in everything that they do. It was an honor to be able to share my story with the students. It was a very rewarding experience. I look forward to continuing to share my message more in the future. God Bless!

It has come to my attention that I haven’t posted here in awhile to give you guys an update on what is going on. Things have been pretty hectic lately with school. It is starting to slow down, which is great. I have been getting out in the community, which is a lot of fun. Not too long ago I had the opportunity to read a book to a first grade class here in the inner city of Baltimore. That was a lot of fun and very rewarding. I have also been working out every single day and my body feels like it is in great shape. I am working out in my gym and doing upper and lower body work. My legs are getting stronger, as is my core. My body feels terrific!!Â
I will be coming home to Arkansas in a couple of days for a visit. I am excited to come home and see my family and friends. We have a lot of things planned and I am excited to come home and see everyone… I miss you guys a lot and can’t wait to see all of you!
I will be sure to post a lot more about what all is going on. Thanks a lot for all of your thoughts, prayers, and support… God Bless!
