I just really wanna say thank you um, for every single thing that everybody does in this room, for me. Because I did
grow up away from my family, moving out of Texas, coming here and all of you have raised me in so many different
ways and challenged me as a person. So, I have this launch pad that you’ve all given me because now I can do so
many wonderful things because of this. You’ve helped me grow up. And you’ve watched me grow up and I really hope
that I won’t let you down with everything else that I do. So thank you for being a part of my life and a beginning of
something I hope lasts a long time
