00:00 It's a privilege to have this award for myself because where I come from, obviously Derby,
00:07 I grew up on a council estate, Rv Road I grew up on, and for me this is massive because
00:17 it's, and it also, it shows that through hard work and sacrifice and you don't have to be
00:26 given things, you don't have to grow up with things to make it to where you want to be
00:33 where I am now, it's just hard work and determination and through all the bad days and the good
00:40 days, just keep going, keep moving forward and that's why I want to show to the next
00:46 generation and people around Derby and all of their kids and especially kids who have
00:52 grown up in council estates and it can be hard but I believe that's what makes you a
00:59 person and I just want to keep inspiring the younger generation, keep making Derby proud
01:06 and hopefully we get back a big fight night in Derby.
01:11 I don't know if you guys can help me on that, that would be something special.
01:17 Absolutely.
01:18 Yeah.
01:19 Thank you so much.
