I’m going to get there. He takes out the time to listen to me and he does everything he can to help
me stay focused on my academic goals.”

us at all times. Passing period, during lunch, after school, he would attend our games if we asked
him to.Everyone had easy access to him.”

assured me that I’d have someone to talk to when I needed support with the plans I committed
to.”
