What inspires you from WFSU Public Media? Here's this week's Voices That Inspire. I'm Eric Gunn and I'm a senior at Fort High. I play basketball for Fort High at University. What brought my love to the game was watching Daregros as an elementary school student. And I've been playing basketball ever since. A game of basketball is like life because you can't do everything on your own. You have to work with somebody to get the ultimate goal, which is winning. In basketball, you win games, you lose games. In life, you win battles, you lose battles. So if you just try your best and communicate well with teammates and just hope for the best, you win something. Sometimes you lose the. My inspiration has been my little sister, Tiffany. She's been there for me at all my games, cheering me on. She came a long way because she had autism. Like it kind of set her back because she had trouble hearing a long time ago when she was born. So I've been working with her. She's been working with me, motivating me up and pushing her. So we just worked together as my twin. We were like six years apart. I think I inspired my sisters pretty good. I have another little sister that goes to Rickards too. I try to keep her on a positive track because I know it's rough for her to always encourage her to try new things. She's not really into sports, but she currently got into weight lifting. She does soccer. She tries softball. I'm just trying to motivate her and say positive things to her every day. I'm currently planning to go to FAMU to study pharmacy. I love helping people and pharmacy is a great field to being to help people. I know a pharmacy would be kind of challenging because I'm bad at chemistry, but I'm working on it. I'm mostly excited about being on my own and seeing what I can do. I know it's going to be kind of hard because I always had help, so I just want to see how far I can go and see if I can finish my goals and complete them. I am not afraid of a challenge. I am married, gun, and I go to Florida High. You're listening to voices that inspire.
