You make it us all proud of you. Yes you are a great basketball player but it seems to me that you're a better man then a basketball player God has truly blessed you happiness is lifting others and caring for those who need to be cared for you have found that in your life. Confidence comes from the virtues that you have you will have a chance to change a lot of people's lives for the better. What an opportunity you have.

Can't help but love Yoeli Childs -- as a BYU basketball player -- but more importantly as a great person. I've wondered about his younger brother playing ball. IIRC, Yoeli has said that his brother is more athletic than him, but his brother doesn't love sports -- he's a gifted musician. For those interested, here's a Deseret News story about Yoeli's family -- especially about how his mom sacrificed and went through so much to raise Yoeli and his brother Masay: www.deseret.com/2019/3/8/20667959/everything-she-s-done-is-for-those-kids-meet-the-real-hero-behind-byu-s-yoeli-childs.
