I was really inspired by you.”
The soldier further revealed that the Layover singer motivated him to continue chasing his dream.
He said,
“More than anything, thanks to the consistency and passion that my brother showed, I was able to solidify my dream of becoming a rehabilitation therapist and work hard without giving up on both exercise and studying throughout my military service.”
