I want to change as many lives as I can, I want to help as many people as I can and I want to let people know that serving and doing for people is not outdated and certainly not overrated!

You must keep your composure. Take charge of the huddle. Be a leader. And silence, the crowd.

If you want to finish, sometimes you can't just finish. You gotta finish fast!

Every single thing I go through, I remember I was homeless, and I draw from it!

Don't tell me you're going to be on the honor roll. Shut up! Go to work! And show me!

Your success is not dependent upon a board of advisers, it's not dependent upon motivational speakers who've gone before you,they're living their lives, they're taking care of their family, they're doing what they have to do to be successful, nobody owes you anything, that was the biggest lesson for me.

One of the things I know about my family, my generation, and my ethic background is that we put in work and I'm not just talking about just to eat. You have to think about the civil rights movement, they were putting in work; marching, walking miles and miles, sacrificing, getting on the bus, feeding one another, they had schools, voter registration, they were working! They were hard workers so my advice is to work.
