“A quote that has inspired me while working on this project is from Patrick Tillman, a Military Man & an NFL player. He said, ‘Passion is kind of an important word for me, whether it’s playing sports or whether it’s just living or whatever you’re going to do. In my opinion you should be passionate about it or else, why do it?’ Every time I get to talk to someone about this project I get excited. I love architecture and building. It’s something I’ve been passionate about since junior high! This project really has sparked more of a desire in me to want to expand my horizons. I can’t wait to see the finished project and where the passion and love of architecture and building will take me in the future!”
