There have been so many pivotal points in my life; bits of evidence as to why this mission chose me. I can’t say when it all started. My earliest memory of it was when I was 6 years old and glued to the T.V. every Saturday morning watching Notre Dame Football. Perhaps it started when my grandfather would throw the football to me in the front yard for hours at a time; high in the sky, and with every catch I felt victorious. Or maybe it was when I received that first college recruiting letter and I felt my focus and hard work were being realized. I can’t say exactly when I began believing in myself, but over time I had the feeling that I CAN DO IT.
