Hi, this is Andrew Talbert checking in for Hello Nation from the University of Central Oklahoma. And today I'll be telling you about a teacher that changed my life growing up, or like a mentor. So in college, this guy, his name was Gatlin Goodson, great guy, walks with faith. He really pushed me as an athlete to use my, not status, but my position in the school to spread the faith and also act good for younger athletes to follow, such as doing the right thing in the classroom, weight room, stuff like that, and just pushing other athletes to be good people. And that's really all I took away from that. And also walking with faith is super important in college because it can go just like that. So this is Andrew checking in from Central Oklahoma for Hello Nation.
