When I woke up in the morning and look in the mirror I realise that one of the reasons I don't own a handgun is, I would have shot my thighs off years ago.

Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.

I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.

Pray as if it's up to God, work as if it's up to you.

One if the hardest things in life to learn are which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.

You aren't your past, you are probability of your future.

Education is the way to move mountains, to build bridges, to change the world. Education is the path to the future. I believe that education is indeed freedom.
