I am very honored and proud to say that I have received the 2013 Silver Knight in Athletics for Miami Dade County! This prestigious award is given annually to a high school senior who has demonstrated excellence in his or her category, academics, and community service. As I was announced as the winner, the packed auditorium joined together in a thunderous applause, congratulating me on all I have done in the name of spreading concussion awareness and education. That ovation and the award gave me a profound sense of achievement and I am extremely grateful that my community respects the work that I have done.
