ACHIEVE and never stop achieving. Also, some kids don't get told often that THEY CAN DO THIS, that they can achieve anything they set their mind to, and I want to make sure they know it and they hear it because sometimes that's all they need, just one person to believe in them, but most importantly they need to know that they can be that person who believes in them.

From the time I was little, I always looked forward to going to school—it gave me an opportunity to interact with people, explore ideas, and exercise my mind and body in a safe and structured atmosphere. Working out in the so called “real world” never really appealed to me. My why is simple—teaching is something I’ll always do, whether it’s something I do as a profession or just for fun.
