    Rooks is so inspiring. I’m still in school trying to finish my program. I always come back to videos of Jemele Hill and Taylor Rooks whenever I feel overwhelmed and uninspired because this school stuff is mad hard. I love sports-particularly basketball and futbol-and I want to be successful in my career path someday.
