1. Jay Z, talk about someone that used his platform to achieve so much more in life. He’s someone that can give off nothing but knowledge. 
2. Austin, a childhood friend, and teammate that took his life during our sophomore year. The day he took his life we had a class together, not knowing it was our last class together because it seemed like a regular day. I just would like the chance to really ask him was he okay. 
3. Abraham Lincoln, want a chance to say thank you and shake his hand for taking a step towards what’s right!
