"I took lessons from sports," Kingston said. "To always work hard and not give up on it."

Kingston moved up to the varsity soccer team his sophomore year, which he said was one of his proudest moments.

The Cabot graduate finished school with a 4.25 GPA. He also had a 32 on the ACT. During his high school career, Kingston was on the honor roll every semester.

Academics were important to Kingston.

"I just had to work hard," Kingston said.
