For me, when you are have people wondering what is next, what is coming out, you are on the right track.

I've been blessed with talents to play this game and been put on a stage to impact a lot of people. I don't want to take that for granted.

I'm very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.

When I moved out, my mom and dad came to help me get settled into my apartment - a place I ultimately got hooked up with in Coach Nelson's building. We had to figure out how to get all my shoes over here. That was a little stressful.

My father was in the coal business in West Virginia. Both dad and mother were, however, originally from Massachusetts; New England, to them, meant the place to go if you really wanted an education.

I'm actually the fourth generation in my family to have no practical use for the church, or God, or religion. My children continue this trend.

I think sometimes parents and teachers fail to stretch kids. My mother had a very good sense of how to stretch me just slightly outside my comfort zone.

Cricket keeps me away from classes, and home, for long periods at a time. But talking to friends and family helps, it is a sacrifice I have to make, because I love cricket.
