I had to take three college courses every semester. I had to maintain a 3.5 GPA to stay in school. I never went to any parties, never had a sip of alcohol. I honestly had no life other than academics and sports because my mom told me, “We can’t afford college, but you have to go. So, you have to get full tuition wherever you go.” So, that was the pressure on me. ”
