Teachers are always trying to inspire people to do better, to learn, to grow. That’s what we do, and we’re proud of the success we’ve had here doing that, and it’s something we’ll certainly continue to do.

There’s certain things that I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through.

Talent is talent, and everybody knows somebody who has talent or ability, but they never really converted it into a productive performance for whatever reasons.

No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity.
