A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don't ever develop that attitude and the ones who aren't blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.

Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.

I feel like I'm really blessed and lucky that I have a very good social life outside of the gym and I have a really amazing family. My parents are so supportive. I have a younger brother and two younger sisters and they're really awesome. So I feel like I get the best of both worlds.

My family has been amazing and they understand how blessed I am. They've been able to keep my sense of humor.

I was blessed because I come from a family where they knock you down before you float away. I have a lot of brothers who just make sure we have our feet on the ground and my mom is a rock star. She is an amazing mother.

In the laughing times we know that we are lucky and in the quiet times we know that we are blessed. And we will not be alone.

It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.
