My biggest inspiration is my family. They continue to push me to be my best but are always willing to bs there when I feel as though i didn't. Their unwavering support has shown me that no matter how i do they will celebrate me and not just the successes. My teammates also never fail to pick me up and cheer me up when I can't myself. I am so beyond grateful for the people i have chosen to surrond myself with.
