My Dad always told me that I don't always need to take heed of everything, but I should always listen. That's something that I will take for the rest of my life, and if I feel like I need to pass knowledge down to somebody else and help somebody in some way, I think that they should hear what I got to say.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Upbringing</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[6:38]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I'm from a small place called Lamar, South Carolina. Some people don't have a clue where that place is so I would just say Columbia.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[7:06]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lamar is a small town, and poverty was at its highest. It was just some things that I had to go through and some things that I had to overcome. Given my family background, I wasn't given a head start like other people did where they had people come into their lives.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Moving in with his Foster Parents</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[8:03]</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was dealing with some issues with my mouth where I needed surgery. I  never had anybody to answer when it comes to that area, and it was getting a bad deal. Miss Cathy was the principal at the school, and she saw what I was going through, so she and her husband decided to help me.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[8:51]</span></p> <p><sp
