Mom, thank you. Mr. Palmer, my father I never had, thank you for teaching me what it is to be a man.
I won't call myself a failure. Failure is not getting knocked down. It's not getting up.
For the first 40 yards I am one of the fastest guys. After that, it's a horse race.
I was forced to grow up quicker than most. I was forced to be a young man at a young age.
To all the kids who looked up to me, I’m truly sorry for letting you down, but I hope it’s helped you learn that one bad decision can turn your dream into a nightmare. There is no excuse for domestic violence, and I apologize for the horrible mistake I made.
I want to be someone that kids in my community look up to and want to strive to give back when they grow up.
