Together

I am all about togetherness. Together is always better than alone. Being happy with someone else is always better than being happy alone, being sad together is always better being sad by your self and almost anything else that you can think of.

I think that I feel so strongly about the sense of togetherness because of my feelings on how a team should be and my feelings about my family. I have been on some for of team for virtually my entire life. As I've grown older, I've been able to understand more and more about what that means. My teammates at Whitney Young will be some of my best friends for the rest of my life. Your teammates are people that should always have your back. No matter what. That is what I have been taught - that you are going to war with your teammates and the only way to have the best possible outcome is to be as close knit a group as possible. The same is to be said about family. There is nothing on the planet that I would not do to preserve the well being of my family. In my eyes, my family are the people that will always love me no matter what happens on this Earth.

If I consider you to be a good friend of mine, a teammate or if you are a close family member, I will do anything in my power to help you in any way that I can. I find myself to be a very loyal person in that sense.
