I’d especially like to thank my Heavenly Father for guiding me and giving me the courage to dream, and to make my dreams a reality. Second, I’d like to thank my family for coming to see me compete and for helping support me financially in this journey. Then I would like to thank my sponsors, @platosclosetchampaign, @darcirealtor, @jessohsoblessed and Corey Sands, The Russel’s, etc. I also would like to thank my new friends, and my friends around the world who have supported me and encouraged me to follow my dreams. Last but not least, I would like to thank Cohen Sands who has been with me every step of the way, practiced with me for hours on end, gone shopping with me, helped me wake up for work and spend less so I could afford this opportunity, and who has been my biggest fan. Thank you.
