I started out just helping out here and there, but soon teachers were asking 'Can I have him for this? Can I have him for that?'

Some teachers have asked us -- not through the school board or anything -- to come in and help.

School has been the hardest part. My teachers try to give me work ahead, but they don't always know how far they'll get. So, they let me make up work, too.

...teaching is, after all, a form of show business.

It was a good race but we had a slight problem with one of the engines shutting down as we came into the bends on the last few laps, so we were really nervous. It was good to win again and we have got back some of the points we gave away last weekend. ... Because of the engine problem we had to keep going wide on the corners with Steve having to keep the revs up. We've had a few problems this weekend so I was a little nervous before the start of the race, but we got the result we needed.

I strictly adhere to the creed that one needs to 'get off the horse and walk with the people' to understand what is happening around them.
