I love hearing stories of perseverance and determination such as these above. Now I’m not going to pretend to be a sports writer and give you all the stats because that would be out of my niche of explaining mortgage financing to people, but all I can say is WOW!
31 points in a bowl game, and not just any bowl game, but the very last bowl game of the year is insane! For those of you who don’t watch college football (and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) but that was like the Super Bowl for those 2 teams because it’s the last game of the year.

That is what life is like for a lot of people in this world. That is why I’m always encouraging you to move forward and to always try your best! Life is almost always 95% mental and 5% how you react to it, so take stories like the above football players and continue to move forward in life even when you feel it’s too hard or the challenge is too strong. Take it from me, sometimes all you have in life is your will and determination.

Growing up as a kid we we’re just about as poor as we could be. I remember being made fun of over and over because the truck that my dad came to pick me up in would not run and we ended up having to push it after school all the way home too many times that finally me and my sister decided it better to just walk home than to try and ride a vehicle that wouldn’t make it. Little did I know that became the start of my own love for football and the passion it can bring out in people.

This is actually what our movie coming up next year in November is all about,  actually. I won’t ruin the plot of it because you can see it on kickstarter.com for our seed funding, but I’ll just give you a little hint until we actually have the funding for the film.
The film portrays a little boy who learned how to become fast and carry the ball like his life depended on it because once there were no more rides home from school due to his dads truck constantly breaking down, he had to make it home every single day in order to avoid the constant beatings or harassing from other kids who would have enjoyed seeing that little kid to just believe everything that they had called him his whole life.
I guess just like Forrest Gump, football came natural to me even though I had never played before. I simply saw the field like I did as my path to get home. I had to hit all the right angles and avoid guys trying to tackle me during my short football career, just like I would have to avoid the bullies every day walking home from school since being a minority growing up in the central valley of California, I was outnumbered about 20-1.

It just so happens that when I touched the ball for the 1st time ever in a game in my entire life, I happened to take it back over 83 yards for a touchdown. I can still hear the crowds cheering for me which is the first time I was ever told that I was doing something right…..it was such a different feeling. For once, I was making all those people happy and gave them something to cheer for…….I’ll never forget that feeling as long as I’m alive.

You see I was too small to play football and I had severe asthma growing up which would prevent me from doing a lot of extra curricular activities, however, my determination to show people that they were wrong about me for what I had been called and for simply being the wrong nationality is absolutely wrong!
So do NOT EVER believe when somebody tells you that you can’t do something…..do NOT EVER believe that for one bit.
Instead use that anger and pain and sadness and channel it into something positive. I had absolutely no clue that playing football from 1995-1997 would have been such a life changing experience for not just myself, but for a community as well during those years.

You never know who you will impact by continuing to try and improve yourself in whatever way you can. A lot of times it is just plain and simple that you have yourself if you grow up in a poverty stricken environment, because NOBODY around you will want you to ever go anywhere or do anything other than what they are probably doing, which is more than likely going nowhere in life.

Do whatever it takes to get educated and constantly learn as much as you can. That’s why I am going to be working with the United States Department of Interior department of Indian Affairs in a few weeks, to have Young Professionals Network get officially certified as a Choctaw Owned Company. I am the last blood member of my family’s line to be a native American and therefore I have a job to do. Not just for the Native Americans that I came from, but for everybody else that doesn’t have an opportunity to get educated and doesn’t have that kind of opportunity a lot of others people do have.

If you have a desire to grow professionally with your skills there is a tremendous opportunity here. Simply email us and tell us that you would like to join our membership for free and we will start working with you within 48 hours. 
I am going to try and make as much as these opportunities affordable to as many people as possible so that everybody can have an opportunity to learn and grow and become whatever you want to in life…..there are several very large grants that we are eligible for we have begun applying for so wish us luck.

The only problem we are having right now is that there is too much demand and not enough hands because we are bootstrapping everything like a normal start-up does that comes from nothing. I don’t care if you are a beginner at real estate or you’ve been at your job for 30 years and just want a change, we are going to help give people the professional skills they need to be successful in business.  Our 4 month mentor ship program are very close to being put together.

If you would like to get involved, we would certainly welcome that. I honestly don’t even think of it like my company because young professionals network is not just a corporation, but instead “We are a generation of millennial helping each other out to learn as much as we can, and in turn do the same for somebody else who needs a little help in life.

As always, I sincerely thank you for reading, liking, and sharing our blog posts. It’s what helps us continue to strive forward. If you have any questions about our campaigns we have happening right now or the movie project or how to get involved, I’ll leave links at the bottom. And don’t worry, I don’t collect your emails to spam you…..I actually hate being spammed myself so you never have to worry about us doing that on our end. We only send out marketing to people if they ask for it currently. I hope you have a great day!
