An Incredible Example of Grit, Perseverance, and Growth Mindset - Motivation Monday #23 {June 9, 2014}

Every Monday I post quotes and/or videos to inspire and motivate you through your week. Get ready for a great one!

With the odds stacked against L'Damian Washington, he shows us what it means to persevere and never give up. Losing his father at age 5 and his mother when he was a sophomore in high school, he and his 3 brothers chose to stay together and raise themselves and each other. L'Damian went on to Mizzou to play football and graduated with a 3.5 GPA.

He does not only want to succeed for himself, he wants to succeed for others.

You can follow L'Damian on Twitter for more inspiration and to follow his journey.

Have a super week,
