my face. Winning class 11 is something I have dreamed of my entire life. I went on to be named the heavy weight crossbred champion. Then the crossbred champion and eventually the grand champion steer the show. From the time I won my class I was in shock and everything happened very fast. I accomplished something I had dreamed and prayed for every day from the time I started showing. Not only did I win the steer show, but my team behind me won the show.
Zack Eagle and Colton Shaw deserved the win more than anyone in the barn. They are my biggest role models and influences. They have taught me that when you lay your head down at night, the only thing that matters is who you are as a person. They taught me to wake up, work your hardest with what the Lord has given you and never give up. The Lord sees our actions every day and he blesses those who walk in his path. Winning the steer show was truly a
blessing sent from above. It's not always easy to do the right thing and take the long, hard path to success but it sure is worth it. I truly could never thank every person that has played a role in my success enough. I'm so thankful for my parents and their countless support. It's a privilege to not only exhibit cattle, but to be at the end of the halter of a champion. Snoop Dogg changed my life and I will never be able to express how it
feels. I want my story to give people hope that they can do anything they set their mind to. It won't be easy and there will be days you want to give up, but it will be worth it when everything comes full circle. If you keep your faith in the good Lord, surround yourself with good people and pour your heart into your animal, you can do anything. There is nothing better than knowing you started at the bottom and came out on top. ■
