Board of Advisers

My board of advisers consists of people who have influenced me in the past. They are very important to me.

1) Kerry Collins-I chose my dad because he is someone who I have always wanted to be like. After watching him throughout my entire life, I've learned a lot of valuable things like to be patient and kind towards everyone and to keep trying my hardest all the time.

2) Aaron Beck- I chose my football coach because he showed me the kind of man I wanted to be like. From the moment I first met him he had my respect. That respect only grew with the more time I spent around him. He taught me to work hard for the things I want and that even though you don't always win, it's going out the next week to do it again.

3) Greg Nowlin- I chose my high school math teacher because for the first half of my senior year, I didn't really try all that hard in my math class and my grades reflected it. He sat me down and asked what my motivation was with my schooling. After that conversation, I knew what my motivation was and ever since then I've been trying my hardest to do well.

4) Andy Collins- I chose my brother because he can always make me smile. This has taught me that even when life sucks, you can smile. Everyone should have somebody like this.

5) Connor Sharp- I chose my best friend because there are few people in this world whose advise means more to me than his. He always tells me how it is, not very softly or subtly either. I can trust him with any secret I have or problems I'm facing.

Like in clay Aiken's song, Measure of a Man, he states that you should "love many, trust few." It's because of the fact that earning trust is not an easy thing to do that making it onto someone's board of advisers is so difficult and influential.
