Wet Wednesday

Today was a very tough day for me. I buried a classmate, friend, a brother. The mass was held at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church located on the West Side of San Antonio. For those of you who are not familiar with San Antonio, the West Side is predominantly Hispanic and most of the population speak spanish. At the service the priest spoke in both English and Spanish. The priest was talking about using our "talentos" in this life to make this world a better place than how you found it. I will always remember this word, "talentos". I believe that the "talento" that God has gifted me with is one of athleticism. But not the kind that will make me lots of money, or make me a professional athlete. I mean the kind that every day people can look at and relate to. The kind of person that people look at and respectively ask their self, "If James can do it, than why can't I?" I hope to teach anyone who comes forth with questions about fitness and guide them to an overall healthier and happier life through fitness that works. I will use my "talento" to make one person better at a time, hopefully one day affecting the world.

RIP Michael Gres
