i decided when i got accepted to texas a m uh i had made the decision that i wanted to go into the core and so for those of you who may know or may not know uh the core is a military rntc and uh you know texas a m at its roots was military founded uh so i went over there you know i've always been the type of person that's enjoyed a challenge growing up as a uh motivation i guess but i've always been athletic i've always enjoyed a challenge i played competitive soccer on track i was good at those things and then growing up i made you know pretty relative i made a's and b's so you know really didn't have any challenges or struggles with academics growing up uh when i went and decided to go into the court texas a m i can remember it was probably about halfway through that freshman year So as a freshman in the core, they call you fish.
