The theater was my first training ground. It taught me discipline, dedication and appreciation of hard work.

Judi Dench and Ian McKellen taught me how to work hard and respect the theatre.

Paige is a testament to just what hard work and dedication can do. She missed only two days of summer training and on those days she still ran while out of town. Her time is the fastest she has ever run on any course. ... I am extremely proud of her efforts today.

I am very proud of these seniors. It truly shows what dedication to your sport and hard work can accomplish.

After looking at that ring, I know I want one. We know it's going to take hard work and dedication, and that's what has gotten us here.

It basically comes from a lot of hard work and dedication, and some good coaching. It's been our dream since we were kids to get to state.
