I never doubted myself, but this exceeds my imagination. Two chapters closed: student and athlete. This proves what hard work and passion can really achieve. Itโs been a blessing to partake in such a fulfilling journey.
I was just a kid on a mission. This is a big check off the list, but my aspirations are far from complete. Closed an epic chapter of my life that was filled with hard work and determination. Excited for whatโs next.
It's OFFICIAL!
UCLA has signed graduate student Myles Johnson to a grant-in-aid. The 6-foot-11 rising senior will join the Bruins in 2021-22 after four years at Rutgers University.
Johnson grew up in Long Beach and attended Long Beach Poly HS.

Rest in power to one of the RACs all time fans. Minus this season she would be in the same seat each and every home game right by our locker room. Win or lose she always had great things to say to us after every game. She will indeed be missed.

, filed Senate Bill 324 which would allow collegiate student athletes to receive compensation for the use of his or her name, image, and likeness in relation to an athletic program.
This quote by Dr. Rev. MLK Jr. gives me the faith to never give up on the dream for equality and that creating a culture of unity, equality, and equity is possible.
