My uncle Remi has been a big influence in my life. His personality is something I have always admired. He has taught me many helpful life skills. He has taught me discipline and respect. He has shown me the most about how to work on my farm and be able to work in the most effective way possible. He is very supportive and helpful in giving me wisdom in my athletics.
