  - I’ve had a lot of firsts and a lot of hard situations that I put myself into to get to where I am today, and I really think the backbone of all of that has been my ability to have my faith and just really believing everything happens for a reason and that the decisions I feel motivated to make and compelled to make, I feel like there is a reason behind those things…There may be expectations from other people, but they’re never expectations that I haven’t already put on myself. I’m a very ambitious person.”
  - “With all the Sunday games that’s not always applicable, but just making any moments I can in my day to kind of like ground myself, I think that’s important…The nice part about it is, obviously, like my faith can, it’s always with me, and so it’s not something that like I feel I have to necessarily attend something to feel (it).”
    - Gen Z do religion differently
