“I don’t really get advice that often, but I learn a lot from my mom and grandpa. With my family, hard work is stressed like no other. So is being able to be independent and do things for yourself. My mom was 19 when she got pregnant with me. She graduated college, she has her master’s and she’s a high school dean now. So looking at everything she accomplished and went through, it makes me think twice about complaining about things.”
