FROM CHICAGO TO THE DESERT
The road to this moment has been anything but easy. There have been plenty of ups and downs, setbacks, doubts, and lessons along the way. But through it all, you never steered away from the work. You ran toward it.
And I’m not going to lie… it took a REAL village 😂 But seriously, it really did. A lot of people played a part in helping get you to this moment, and I’m grateful for everyone who believed in you and poured into you along the way.
Howard, I’m extremely proud of you and even more grateful that you trusted me personally to help you chase and accomplish the goals you set for yourself. Watching you grow, battle through adversity, and continue to bet on yourself has been special.
CHICAGO’S FINEST!!!!!!
Now it’s official… ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY🔱
But we both know the work doesn’t stop here. There’s more to accomplish, more sacrifices to make, and another chapter waiting for us in the desert.
So let’s sacrifice everything once again, stay locked in, and see what we can come up with this time.
Proud of you, Howard. This is only the beginning.
