We all try to remind (the students) there are people who care about them, and we wish for them to have a safe and healthy spring break and come back to us.

We all know that people drink on spring break, and we all know that they have sex on spring break.

It's our goal to keep them safe and healthy.

In my teens, I worked as an aide in my community supervising and mentoring youth in various programs and delivering lunches to needy students.

Young people need the hands-on training that comes with a summer job. They need to know how to dress for success and nail job interviews. But most of all, they need mentorship, guidance, and inspiration.

I grew up in a modest neighborhood just outside of Los Angeles. It was an industrial community of blue-collar, working people... some of the hardest-working people I've ever met.
