I wasn't confident there would be a lot of the public, ... It's too bad because it is such a great idea.

I never reached that point. But I can see where families can get that far. It tests your coping skills. It's just as important for parents to take care of themselves as much as the child.

I don't think that any of us thought it would go completely smoothly this year, ... We knew this was going to be a year where unfortunate things would fall into place. Disappointing is a mild word, because what we're talking about, instead of 140 kids, is 18 more at $5,000 a child going out of our district.

I have a willingness to put in as much time as is necessary for my students. I hope my students will think of me as someone they can come to if they have problems and I hope they'll enjoy their time in my classes.

I like the location of Marion and I've been here before. Marion really strikes me as a nice community.

I hope to help start an FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) chapter either this year or next year.
