"I push my students hard. I see more potential in them than they see in themselves most of the time. Based on my upbringing at their age, I know that several of my students feel like they won’t amount to much or they can’t make a difference in the world. I’ve shared my story with my kids as a way to show them that they can make a difference if they commit to doing something well: 'If you’re persistent, you’ll get it. If you’re consistent, you’ll keep it.' " — Spotlight: Nick Jacques (NV '19)
