Episode Synopsis

I have to say, this is one of my favorite humans I know. He has inspired me from day one. I met Lu at Springfield College back in 2015 and from the first day I met him he has been nothing but supportive and positive in every way possible.  Lu was born with cerebral palsy but to him it is the norm and he wouldn't want you to look at him any differently Growing up he grew a passion for wrestling. In high school he became the team manager but he knew he was meant to be on the mat. He then made the choice to go to Springfield College which allowed him to further pursue his career and give him a chance to compete on the mat like he always wanted. Lu has competed in over 20 matches but has yet to get that win he has always wanted but if you ask him, your only going to hear him talk about his next match and that big win. You can't break this kid. I truly admire his mindset. He is beloved around that Springfield campus and everywhere he goes. Lu went on to study Health Education in his undergrad and then did a Masters in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. He is a inspiration for anyone and I cant wait to see what his future holds.
