my friends and family... the ones who have shown me that being a man means accepting responsibility and working to exceed your own expectations in pursuit of meeting one's responsibility. The one's who have taught me to not be judgmental and to learn from those around me even if it's learning what not to do but being able to recognize what you can learn from a person as quickly as possible. My ancestors for being strong and loving at a time when it was not easy to be either of those things.
