It would be impossible to reflect on 2021 and not discuss Ike. As children, Max, Ike, and myself would play basketball every single day in their driveway until our hands and the sky were both black. Ike was the little brother that would go inside when he lost too many times, but I’d like to think that those times helped mold him into the hooper that he became. The way I saw him play in 2021 gave me no doubt that his next season was going to be a memorable one. Ike unexpectedly passed away in the summer. While I miss him all of the time, I have received confirmation that Ike is in paradise with his creator; I know that I will see him again! And that makes me very happy.

In 2021, I also upgraded my camera, worked on this brand, and poured all of my energy into it! I was blessed to have a grandma that bought the gear on 0% credit until I paid it off. Thank you God for giving me this passion at such a young age. Thank you Mom for buying me my first camera and always believing in me! Thank you to my family for always supporting me above anyone! I extend all of my thanks to everyone who showed me love throughout the year; I would be nowhere without the love you all have had for me! I have so much room to grow in 2022. As for my friends in this field, thank you for keeping me in check, showing me new ideas, and sharing your knowledge! I have not even scratched the surface of how much I want to accomplish in this game. I would love to go on, but my work will do the talking from here!
