Thoughts
- June 2015 probably might have been the best month of my life. Riding across Washington State in honor of my mom raising money and awareness for breast cancer, attending the US Open on my birthday, and moving to Asia. I'm very proud of and grateful for all that I was able to do, especially in that month.
- Quote that describes my year: "The greatest satisfaction in life is making a difference in somebody else's life." -Sir Richard Branson. I felt like I've made a impact on more people's lives in 2015 than any other year through coaching tennis, charity activities, and teaching English.
- It has been a transformational year for me living half of it in Asia, experiencing totally new places, lifestyles, mindsets, customs, etc and making new friends from all over the world.
- Simply put, 2015 was the greatest year of my life.
