When it comes down to it, it really is the little things that count most.

The names Lillian Smith, Eric Dazey, Jon Bullock, and Clari Higginson may mean nothing to most people but the mean the world to me. Of all my years in school, these are the teachers who challenged me to get better everyday and whole-heartedly believed in my dreams. The support they gave me was priceless and life changing.

The words: never, can't, quit, and fail, are not in my vocabulary.

We need more people like Bill Phillips in the world. People who live each day with a passion to help other people. The kind of person who will motivate you beyond what you thought was possible and the kind of person who will celebrate your success with you.

Your health and well being should be your number one priority, nothing else is more important.

Remember all the people in your life who helped guide you on your road to success. Thank them sincerely and often.

It is worth it to give up all that you now are to be all that you could become.
