As I live through each day and month, I reflect on the path that Kappa Pi Beta has aligned me to. They see something in me that I didn’t see: the potential to do so much more than I could’ve ever imagined. They introduced me to experiences that allowed me to be more perspective and engaging, unlocking newer strengths and confidence to join multiple programs and help other organizations. Although at times they admire my strengths, they always seek areas that I can improve on, giving me a chance to be better than who I was before. They acknowledge my mistakes and help me determine a method to work through or around them. If my past were to see me currently, he would’ve been influenced and astonished by everything I have done. In the end, I want to thank all of the brothers, especially my Pops and Big, for being there by my side. I definitely hope to continue reaching beyond the limit and look back at the enormous progress I put together for myself.

My gratitude goes out to my line bros, through thick and thin. My class dad, special lady, and my big take home the trophy as well. I would not be the brother I am today without having them during a time where I needed them most. A person’s biggest enemy is themselves, and you defeat that enemy by surrounding yourself with good company and proving yourself wrong everyday. This is just the beginning.
