Everett says one motivational figure in his education is his wrestling coach, who has an interesting quote to keep the team motivated: "Embrace the Suck." This always reminds him to accept challenges and keep pushing through difficult moments. He carries that mindset with him every day to keep growing and become the best version of himself.
After graduation, he plans to attend college, possibly the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and eventually earn a master’s degree in music therapy.
