I wanted to learn the language while I earned more money.

I call my trainers educators. It's crucial for my stylists to learn how to talk to clients, do a good diagnosis and understand what clients have in mind even if the latter are not articulate or expressive, or simply don't know.

The issue now is whether the Legislature is willing to commit large amounts of money to ensure that language access services are provided.

For me, it's about the tennis and the trophies. I'm not motivated by money.

American schools in Guam, both before 1941 and after 1945, were established to eradicate the Chamoru, tongue and person. To educate the old Chamoru out of the new American. The native out of the patriot...But the nastier lesson their schools taught was that their dreams were ours. That indigenous knowledge had no place in the new world...As vehicles for our assimilation, American schools have attached to our longings alien aspirations for material wealth, money and power. How much of our creativity and our vision has already been laid to waste for the sake of these?

I want to do well for myself and my sponsors... but I feel no pressure, because I don't play for the money.
