Abraham Lincoln once said, “Whatever you are, be a good one.”  Many students throughout the Towson area have dreams and aspirations of becoming the best at what they are and do.  The rising stars in our community are built off determination, passion and strength.  Whether excelling in sports or music, these talented individuals have the drive to be something extremely special.

Chris Muccioli, a senior at Towson University, plays drums for a local band (Secret Mountains), and knows how important it is to stay focused, follow your heart, and know that nothing is out of reach.

“It’s fun doing the impossible,” Muccioli said about taking his talents to a whole new level, and possibly making it big one day.  “I strive hard in making sure my music flows well as a single work.”

All-star 18-year-old athlete Justin Hughes also found his niche and knew that golfing was exactly what he wanted to do.

“I fell in love with the game,” said Hughes.  ”Once I found my passion I never looked back.”

Students around the Towson area are inspired by talented individuals like Hughes and Muccioli as well as professional athletes, such as Brett Favre.

Although Brett Favre is a pro-quarterback in Minnesota, Towson-Baltimore Ravens fans have nothing but respect for the 40-year-old man who persevered throughout his career and has now played in 283 consecutive games.  

“He is a true role model for any young athlete, or person for that matter.”  Steven Coda, senior Offensive Tackle at Towson University said.  ”His dedication to the game is so intense, and he teaches everyone to never give up and play every down like it’s your last.”

Steven Coda lives by this motto, and has looked up to Favre his whole life.  Coda grew up in Northern New Jersey where he played football for Cranford High School.  He has received many individual awards such as, All-Conference, 1st team All-County, Captain of the All-Star team for North Jersey, Super 100 All-State, and won the Conference Championship in 2004.

Coda is yet another gifted individual in the community who reminds us that following your heart and striving to fulfill your passion takes hardwork, dedication and strength.
