@gabunion : Life is what happens when you are busy making plans. This is my nephew @official_tboogie and it's his senior year of high school. He has been playing cornerback & wide receiver since he was tiny. He is looking to get a scholarship to play cornerback. He has trained for years to hone his skills and traveled all summer to train & play against the best in the country. 3 weeks before the season his quarterback transferred and his coach asked him to be the starting quarterback for the 1st few games. This was NOT his plan. Oftentimes we are challenged to do what's best for the team as opposed to what's best for self. My nephew stepped up. Hes that kind of person. He adjusts and makes the best of every situation. Oh and he still had to play every down as a cornerback in 95 degree weather...because that's what was needed. He figured it OUT. This young man ended up with 189 yards on 11 carries and 4/9 passing...playing a position he hasnt played since the 4th grade. His team lost but he won. He won because he embraced change and literally ran with it. Me and @dwyanewade along with my entire family sat back in awe of what he accomplished under difficult, unfamiliar and uncomfortable conditions. We can all learn to embrace change and adapt when our grand plans change. We can all staying winning even when we lose. Thank you for this life lesson Torren Union. #sundaymotivation
