I am from family--
Ping pong paddles hitting TVs, church on Sundays and professional football in the backyard.
From three best friends, living under one roof...

I am from passion
Passion turned Obsession.
From a talent that will take me to college or beyond...

I am from happiness--
Family trips, playing outside and pretending to survive in the wilderness in the backyard.
From chasing a white ball around a field...

I am from straight drives and missed putts--
Times where I think about breaking every club in the bag, to times of low scores and achievement. 
From hard work, determination and not giving up...

I am from practice--
Sticky sweat on a humid day, and cool fall mornings on golf courses still wet with dew
From chipping, putting, hitting repeat.

I am from setting goals to play in college--
“You're not good enough” to “You started too late, you can't play in college.”
From JV to Varsity in one year, one hard fought year, and doubters overcame.

I am from family--
Life lessons, hundreds of hours of hard work and striving to be the best version of myself
I am from the family that built me and the people who helped me...
