I may have listened to other people too much. Its so easy to get caught up in the hype. Youre looking at the forums and youre looking at the comments. Youre looking at what other people have to say about you. For a second, I forgot who I was. I forgot what I had done as an athlete to come this far. At one point, I doubted my abilities I will say that. But at the end of the day, its about who you make yourself as an athlete and as a student. If you take the time out to do the work, and focus in the classroom, and do everything youre asked and more -- youre a great person. Youre doing your thing. But its easy to get caught up in whole publicity and hype. You start reading things, and things can get out of hand. It can get bad, but if you have an emotional support system like family and friends just to tell you no matter what happens, We love you and were there for you then everything should be fine.
