Growing up with a single mother who received a sub-par education, it has always been an aspiration of mine to work as hard as possible to improve our living situation. Whether it be through sports or the classroom, I always strive to better myself and become the best Ryan Makouar that I can be. As long as I get 1% better each day, I know my goals and successes will follow. Trusting this process is a great strength of mine. I also hate to lose. If it is controllable, then I will do everything in my power to ensure the win.
