I had a miserable year. My mom passed away this year, and for a while, I found myself homeless after I missed out on an enormous grant program and my landlord jacked up my rent by 200%. For the first time in my entire life, I seriously considered suicide. I felt like an enormous failure and felt very alone. One of the very few things that picked me up this year and kept me going was the promise that Texas Football would be great again, and Sark came through. No matter what happens going forward, Sark is living proof that when you hit rock bottom, all you can do is look upward. When your life is shattered and it feels like nothing is going right, simply putting your head down, doing work, and pushing through it can bring you out of the darkness. I'm in a better place now, I'm not homeless and I've been working through my emotions. I'm still on the look for a permanent job but I have a source of income at the moment. I feel much better than I did 4 months ago. Not completely healed but on the right path. I can't say enough how much of model Sark has been for me this last year. I love my university so much, and when Texas is doing well, I feel like I can do well, too.
Thanks so much Sark for making Texas football fun again. It matters more than just having something to watch on Saturdays.
That's all I got to say.
