I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I enjoy Mario's drive of determination and persistence to succeed despite many of the challenges he's faced growing up. I just want him to know that "This too shall pass." and that there is no circumstance or situation that is too great for God. "In all things, remember to put God first. However, back to the subject at hand. I am a fan because I've always listened to Mario ever since I found out about him. Even though there may be many other singers out there who are constantly popping up, I choose to listen to Mario's songs more often(especially one of his latest songs, "Do Right"). I admire Mario's enthusiasm and his personality. I feel as if he is not shallow, he's very down to earth and from what I've seen, he always exhibits a positive attitude and is not the type to always want to be seen( or be in the spotlight). He's always been very mature for his age, even when he was younger and I kinda like that about him. Yes, I am a fan but I'm not here to say "Oh, Mario I love you and I want to be with you!" I love everyone(yes, everyone includes Mario also). To top it off, I may never get to see you but all I want to say is, Mario, you're very talented and blessed and sometimes you have to go through to get through to your breakthrough. I admire the fact that you are family oriented and caring. There are so many men out there who would have ostracized their mothers but I love the fact that you stayed with your mother and helped her along the way and I respect you for that. My mother and elders always taught my female cousins, my sister and myself to always marry a man who truly loves and appreciates his mother because in turn, they're more likely to do the same to us. Please don't change for anyone. Remain humble! Let Go and Let GOD! No one is perfect however, God placed us on this earth and gave each of us an opportunity to choose life or death, light or darkness. It's up to us to make the right decisions and to make the best of our lives. Mario, be encouraged, stay focused and be blessed! Most of all, Remember GOD and always be grateful! With God's help and your commitment, you will succeed! You have my support and prayers!
