Wonderful to know that you took a positive approach to change your expectations.

I had two coaches in high school that made a huge difference in my life. I became a high school coach because I felt that if I could impact one individual young person the way that they had impacted me, my life would have been worth it!

Meeting a Teacher Has Changed My Life

I went to high school thinking that Mrs. Davis was going to be our Choir teacher. Boy was I wrong. I went to 7th hour and there the new teacher was – Ms. McPhee. She's always smiling, laughing, having a good old time. She's the kind of woman who does not care who you are, what you look like, how tall you are. Then when I had told her she was my favorite teacher she kind of understood. Ever since then we've been having a blast laughing smiling I even stay after school every single day just to help her so she calls it. I like her a lot. She's an awesome teacher. So remember things may not always work out the way you want them to. They could be better.
