My Supports

  • My family is the most important and supportive daily factor. My wife, kids, and mother are very supportive. My extended family is supportive as well. They push me to excel as well as challenge me to do my best no matter what I am taking part in.  I have to babies and a younger cousin who's like my son that looks up to me. I know have to set a really positive example and be a strong positive influence in their lives. I have to make sure that they don't mistakes that I made. It would be extremely difficult to live without them. These people are my life in which I am in constant contact with daily. I am there for them and they are there for me and I would not want to be without any one of them. I honestly can't say what I would do without them, but I hope that I never will have to find out.
  • The challenge I would like to imagine is being a very rich and wealthy person. I honestly would like the challenge of being Kobe Bryant. He is one of the greatest athletes and teammates in the world but he is often scrutinized.  He is also going through a divorce and is probably on the downside of his career. I know my extended family would support me through this and I would like the challenge to see if I could work things out with my wife as well as become a less scrutinized athlete.  We have a close net family. We help each other in any way that we can and will always be there for each other. I would without a doubt be a lost soul with out my support system. Depression would set in and I would probably just climb into a hole so to speak and just keep to myself.

  1. Very Interesting post on what you chose as a challenge of being an Athletic Superstar, I thought of a challenge as being a homeless person where as you took the challenge as being a person completely opposite. I thought it was a little funny. Just reading your post made me realize that even those who are in higher places famous people or not still may have the same struggles and might have the same needs of supports regardless of social economic status. I appreciate your post.

  2. You have the best support group any one could hope for. I know my family is and always will be supportive of all my decisions and help me to make the best of my life. I might like trying to be a rich person as well. That would be quite and experience. Keep up the good work.

  3. Thank you for sharing the other side of struggles with people who do have money and are well-known. I say this because in light of the death of Whitney Houston as a wake up call. She had the most magnificent voice and now she is gone. Her music had a lot of significant meaning to me. You gave me something to think about today.

  4. Hi Terrance,
    As always, I enjoyed reading your post. I see that you are very close to your family and that is a blessing. Continue being a positive role model. We need more men as you.

    I see where you were going with the imagined challenge. From what I read, you would be a famous super star but considering that you value your family so much, you wouldn't be worrying about a divorce due to infidelity. You may have other challenges.

    Your situation may change but who you are a person may or may not.

  5. Hi Terrance,

    I enjoyed reading your post! You chose an interesting challenge! It's true...even famous, wealthy people need support to get through things in life. Family is critical to facing the challenges that life brings. Thank you for sharing your post.

  6. Terrance,

    This was a great post. I too consider my family being one of my support systems. I like the idea or challenge should I say that you would like to have. Yes, Kobe Bryant is a very good athlete that probably does have a lot on his plate right now. All of the things that he may encountering may have an impact on how he plays or how he is doing in everyday life.
