"I'm standing on the shoulders of giants....As long as I can remember, I never wanted to be anything but a teacher. I grew up in a place where male role models are few and far between. Kids didn't grow up with dads, and I was one of them. The people I looked up to, that showed love for me and made me believe that there was life beyond where I was, were my teachers. That's the role I hope to play in somebody's life someday."
