Hello, my name is Greg Bernard Rodgers. I was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and fortunate to have grown up in two very loving and caring homes with two wonderful families (my motherβs side and my fatherβs side of the family). As a child, I stayed in a child's place. As time passed, I began understanding the obligation to myself was to "Keep It Real," which simply means, βBe honest with yourself, if you are not, then you will not be honest with anyone else.β So with the honor that I have received from that alone has encouraged me to push and press on toward what the education to life insist: that "I" must recognize to be successful as a young adult and, surely, succeed to full adulthood. Be encouraged, stay in touch with the people that are encouraging, and do the best that you can. Then you will be the best, at whatever it is that you do, and the honor will be yours.
