I went to school on Senior Skip Day.
My parents always felt if I worked hard enough I could make any dream come true.
When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.
It doesn't take talent to work hard.
When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
If I put my name on something, I'm going to be involved. I'm not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.
