will prove to take the better path. I do not claim that my life has been filled with the troubles of twelve men, but I have shared my days of mourning for horrific losses in life. Losing a grandfather that was so much more than just a grandparent, one sister, a best friend, and having a father who has been diagnosed with many terrible illnesses, makes the road of a Nineteen year old, a road that has seen a lot of rain. I do look at these losses as a stumble in my life, but I also look at these as a reason to get my life rolling. A sister that went to The University of Texas, the South Texas College of Law, then to have her life taken before the world could see how great of a person she was, gives me the drive to follow these footsteps. I want to finish what she started. I look at what these people have given me, and it is so clear the message I got sent, do all you can while you can. No matter the age or problem you have to get up and wipe the spit out of your eyes and show the world you will not take no for an answer. I have only tasted a bit of success while fighting with my adversity so far, but the battle is long from over. I hope my leaving leads a splendorous path, just like those who had walked it before....
