I didn’t really know if I was going to write this. I wanted to wait till it hit me that it was really over. That every 4 hour drive, every late night at FIU and every sunset locking up the truck for the weekend was over. It feels surreal that something that became such a large part of my life for the past 6 months is complete. When I started my time at Stryke, I felt a lot of frustration and anxiety. I was going far from home, leaving a lot of friends and felt like I didn’t belong. Every weekend I went in looking forward to driving home, but the family at Stryke welcomed me and made me realized I had a second home 200 miles south. Every weekend I was met with love and support from the staff and the members and I couldn’t be more thankful. I made a million mistakes and I was always forgiven and supported by every single person there and I still can’t believe how blessed I am to have called Stryke home for the 2026 season. I want to give a special thank you Gio, Ben, Reggie, David, Val and Hailey. You all came every weekend and poured your everything into me and the rest of the membership and have made a lasting impact that will last a lifetime 
To Surya and Jacob. Thank you for every phone call, text message, conversation and FaceTime. Thank you for becoming the two older brothers I needed and for guiding me to become the version of myself, not that I wanted be, but that I needed to be.
To Connor and Hebert. This season was for the both of you, if you both hadn’t picked up the phone that night, I wouldn’t have been marching. I would have aged myself out. You both convinced me to go to Miami and it was the best decision I could have made. Every run was dedicated to the both of you. I hope I made you guys proud.
This season was the hardest season of my life, emotionally and mentally I was loosing it. But Stryke kept me grounded through it all. I’ll never forget this season and hope to make many more like it. I will keep these memories close to my heart and never let go.
