One looks at things differently when you don't have parents who look after you. Some think that you give them love when you feed them, but I didn't just want a taco. I wanted a hug.

People tell me that my parents were really good, working people. I think that, in their bitterness and sadness, they turned to alcohol.

It's a great opportunity. Imagine, there's like 1,400 United Ways in the country, and we're not even like the big ones like Dallas or Chicago. I'm very excited.

We've had a lot of blood and sweat put into the school by parents and volunteers,

(Laci's parents) know it too. They supported him fully until the police misled them and that was to divide and separate him from them.

For the first 15 years I never had problems with parents. Now, I have. It was about playing time, and it was nasty. Some parents do not have a true perspective about where their child fits into the program.
