To be in the position that I am today is truly a God's Honest blessing. I did not think at this time last year my life would be anything like it is now. Everyday waking up and being a college athlete is not something to take for granted, we are extremely privileged and blessed to be in college and on a team at the same time. In order for one see the bigger picture they must cherish the game and have high morals for oneself. Several months into living this life, I have noticed that it takes a toll on you in every aspect and there is nothing but tough , positive thinking that can give you the power to keep pushing for the best. I have been so focused this semester that I haven't been home until our first real break, which made me realize a lot has changed.
The things I am most thankful for is to have such a great mother that cares so much about me. I have never been away from her for extended periods of time being that she was a single parent raising me. Our bond has grown over the years and with the time away from her I have learned how be more appreciate and caring of all that she does for me. Even the little things like just being in my own bedroom again and having all the HD channels on my TV is another privilege that I do not have up at college. One last thing I am extremely thankful for is being able to see my younger cousins growing up and to have the opportunity to set the right example for them look up to is just something that each generation does to set the bar higher for the family.
As you can see, there were a lot of great things to take out of the break. I had to just sit back and reflect on the moments that stuck with me and realize what life is really about. There is always something to be thankful about even when things aren't going right.
