I am an only child. I wasn't spoiled - well, maybe a little spoiled. My parents have been my cheerleaders.

I'm not a perfectionist. It's obvious everything is not going to go perfect. You just have to find what works best.

I wanted the Springfield (school) district. It's really diverse and has (students with) different cultural backgrounds - I knew I wouldn't be the only minority.

Braison was an excellent student who loved and participated in all kinds of sports. He loved his parents and older brother and sister so much.

Parents Anonymous has no set curriculum. The issues or problems that come up is what dictates the discussion for that particular week.

I have students who want to read this stuff and parents who don't mind, ... edgy.
