Quote Of The Day

“Truthfully, at first it was really hard, especially going down in the spring. I wanted to get better; that was the time for me to get better. I took some time to myself, and my family told me that I just have to take this and turn it into a positive and just look at the bright side of everything. And I just took my role of being a leader and vocal guy and pushed forward from there.”
