This week I spent a several hours working with my ghostwriter, Pablo, on a draft for “The Dream.” When I was a kid – I could have never thought that I’d be writing a book at 25. And over the last few months – given what’s happened to my life, it’s been one of the most amazing experiences thus far. If you think about it – whenever you go through a life changing experience – you need to sometimes realize the checks and balances in life. What I mean is, realize what got you there and what your priorities are. This helps you stay grounded. Writing this book has not only been a great experience, but it’s been a very humbling exercise. It made me realize in detail all of the different elements I went through as early as 16, to be where I am today. And of course, who in my life – supported me all the way.

One of the upsides of writing a book is that – in the first page of the book – you’re able to write a dedication. It took me less than 30 seconds to write this dedication. It was an easy decision for me, since I realized that after all I am – and after all I’ve been through – it’s because of my family. So, thank you once again:

Dedication

“This book is for my father, who taught me the meaning of perseverance; for my grandmother and mother, who showed me the true meaning of love; and for my three siblings, who have been there for me every step of the way.”
