10 days out.

This moment means more than a degree to me. It’s proof of what love, faith, and resilience can do when EVERYTHING is on the line.

There was a point where I had to step away… a whole semester gone due to a medical situation I never saw coming. Everything could’ve been delayed. Everything could’ve been different. But by God’s grace, I came back stronger and still finished on time… in 7 semesters.

Nothing about this journey was done alone.

To my mom, for making it clear that this dream had to be earned.
To my sisters and family, for being my peace when things got heavy.
To every mentor, brother, professor, mentee, and friend your belief in me carried me further than you know.

And to Prairie View A&M University… thank you for shaping me into the man I am today.

From a full-ride scholarship that made this possible, to the organizations that built my leadership, to the opportunities that expanded my vision… every piece mattered.

This wasn’t luck. 

The finish line is close… but the story is bigger than just graduating.

It’s about who I became along the way.
