“I think the beauty of life comes through the diverse paths we all chose to walk on and how we cultivate and maintain the relationships which help shape us,” Matthew said. “I love this great university. I love the Corps of Cadets, and I know I was ordained to be here. I would not have met my wife nor had my baby girl right now. Who knew a kid from the inner city of Philadelphia would be at Texas A&M, would be seeking to commission into the United States Air Force right now? God makes everything beautiful in his time, despite our weaknesses and flaws. Make your pathway and set it ablaze, that’s my Gator 2 cents.”
