2020... my family started the year off in the hospital because my grandmother fell and dislocated her arm. On that day, I told her that we will be there to help her at all costs and that the year will end up a little better than it started. A couple months later, our country was forced to shutdown due to Covid-19. This virus has hurt many families and I pray that somehow or someway they can recover from these tough times. 
.

With that being said, in early August I was fortunate enough to have a great friend of mine frankiegonz10 present to me with an opportunity that I could not refuse to take. He reached out and asked if I was willing to finish my degree because this would probably be the only time to do so considering my baseball schedule. This was a no brainer, so I jumped right on it and hit the ground running in the middle of our modified baseball season. 
.

As this may not seem like a big deal to many, for me it was everything. My parents and grandparents have sacrificed themselves for my brothers and I to put us in the best schools growing up, so this one is for you guys. Thank you so much for all the love and support, it means the world to me. Love you guys so much! To those not closely identified, thank you for guiding me along the way. Your help did not go unnoticed!

Swipe right if you want to see a special moment. My grandfather had no clue I was finishing my degree. You can see how much this meant for me to accomplish something that my grandparents have been wanting to see me do for so long!

God does things for a reason and he lined things up for me to be able to finish school under these tough circumstances. Enjoy the last couple of moments of 2020 and I hope that God brings you all many blessings in 2021🙏
