We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Being From One of The Roughest neighborhoods in the city of New York…. I knew I Was Different… I Knew I had to separate my self from others because where I’m from either you slinging Crack rocks or you have a guaranteed Jump shot meaning basketball/Sports…. My mom always Made sure I knew who I was and instilled in me not to be a Follower…. So being the leader was easy
