A letter from Nov 25, 2024

Dear Ezra James, Hey man today would be Nov. 25, 2024. I'm so proud of you for how far you've come. You've had your setbacks and challenges but goodness me man you have grown so much. Don't you ever forget man you are bigger than an athlete. No doubt you are an athlete but the responsibilities of being one goes way beyond what you do in that field. Main thing is making sure it's getting better for the next people. Man, I still can't believe you are representing the Philippines. You used to say that there is no greater calling than to be playing for your country. Look where you are now. Dawning the three stars and the sun every time you step on that field. You are never too small, too slow, or a waste of time. You are a trailblazer. When they say your name, they know that they have someone they can depend on just as much as you trust them. You are a good player but a greater teammate. Always getting better, always getting bigger, and always doubling down on yourself. I love you man. I love the person that you are. Yours truly, E
