Persistence & Patience

"My mother fought and fought for the desk chair. I was a little kid, maybe eight or nine, and I watched her fight. I do that now as a cop. You have to fight to get where you want. It's not easy. Not a single day is easy. They can be fun, but they're not easy. You have to fight to get what you want to be. I spend a lot of time down at the state capital fighting. I don't give up. That's how my family has supported me to get where I am today. Never surrender, never give up. You just can't."
