I plan to major in: Real estate
I'm the player I am because: Of everyone around me and how they pushed me, mostly my mom and godfather (first and only AAU coach until freshman year)
Best basketball moment: When I was in 6th grade playing for my godfather's team against our rival, or as you can say the other best team in the city, and I crossed a kid and hit a floater for game.

If you were a superhero, what powers would you have: I would want to have the powers to be invisible, time travel and teleport.
Role model and why: My mom because she really showed me what it is to be courageous and be a great person. She’s always been there for me and even others when they had no one. She’s a great person and always makes sure she's telling us and anyone she knows the right things. She also makes sure we all have a good relationship with God.
