“My dad is my biggest inspiration because he has always supported me in all my passions including soccer, theater, and DECA. My dad inspires me in many ways. One example is he makes me a priority in his life by going to all my plays, and I really look up to that. He is one of the most hardworking and selfless people I know. He showed up to every soccer game this year, and it meant the world to me when he got to listen to my speech about him on senior night. In soccer specifically, he has been my coach my whole life and he has always been my biggest supporter. He helps me follow my dreams in life,” Russon said.
