We could love and not be suckers. We could dream and not be losers. It was such a beautiful time. Everything was possible because we didn't know anything yet.

I ended up dropping out of high school. I'm a high school dropout, which I'm not proud to say, ... I had some teachers that I still think of fondly and were amazing to me. But I had other teachers who said, 'You know what? This dream of yours is a hobby. When are you going to give it up?' I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there

High school dropouts are forfeiting their opportunity to pursue the American Dream.

I work with the Carl Lewis Foundation focusing on youth from high school down.

When I was in university, my dream was to be a coach, like a high school track coach. Not to teach.

The project targets in-school and out-of-school youth.
