* Who is your personal hero and why? "My parents. Both of my parents are hardworking and supportive toward my younger brother and me. My mom works 10-hour days, and my dad juggles two jobs. But despite their loyalty to their work, they're still committed to the family. Both of my parents make sure that we are properly fed and given a bed to sleep in, and that education comes first. They have given me love and support that motivate me to reach for my dreams and to help them one day like they've helped me. They've helped mold me to become a young man, and I'm thankful that God has blessed me with two of the greatest people on earth."
