Tim Storey

I would just picture myself doing wonderful things, creative things.

So I asked my mother about this recently.

She said, Tim, you were only like five and six years of age.

So now we're really in trouble.

So I was what I call thinking big in small places at a very young age.

But we had moved from a two-bedroom apartment to a three-bedroom little tiny house.

So we were stepping up.

But now the head of the family is taken out.

And my mother did not drive.

Her first language is Spanish.

She speaks very broken English even to this day.

I think that what happens, if you could look at your own life, because I know your story, is that many times we can have momentum and we have this momentum and we feel like, man, I have momentum, I have rhythm, I have force.

So, Hala, we were in trouble.

We were really like sitting in a setback at that time.

And then all of a sudden, an interruption comes.

The word interruption, if you were to break it down, really means a disturbance.

It's like a knock on the door that you did not expect.

As you know, with your life, everything is a process.

So this life interruption was my father went to get my mother food, and he had called the restaurant, was on his way.

So I was fortunate enough to have school teachers and coaches that really believed in me.
