我很荣幸来到这里。
我在芝加哥南部出生长大，那里距离比赛开闭幕式场馆并不远，居住的都是工薪家庭，虽不富裕，却有很强的价值观。
是体育将我们团结在一起，加深彼此联系。
我是同周围的伙伴一起游戏比赛中长大的，我们挑选队友看重的不是一个人的身份，而是他能给比赛带来什么。我从体育中学会了自信，团队精神和公平竞争。

Sports were what brought our community together. They strengthen our ties to one another.
Growing up, when I played games with the kids in my neighborhood, we picked sides based not on who you were, but what you could bring to the game. Sports taught me self-confidence, teamwork, and how to compete as an equal.
