Governor Greg Abbott addresses Barrera Elementary

Texas Governor Greg Abbott talks about dealing with life's challenges, with the 1984 accident that put him in a wheelchair as an example. "Listen, you are going to face tough challenges," Abbott says. "But just like I overcame my challenge and went on to succeed, so can you. ... It is teachers like Amber who overcome those challenges and succeed in being a great teacher, and help you be a great school."

In this series:  Amber Simpson (TX '16)
