“Failure Defeats Losers, Failure Inspires Winners.” ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki ~ [youtube width="640" height="360"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STMtw36vTQo[/youtube] I WISH I understood how to achieve success during my teen years.

Why Do High School Athletes Get SCREWED & How Can You Help Them?
“If you don't have time to do it right, When will you have time to do it over?" ~ Coach John Wooden ~ When I became a teacher, I did so because I CARED about kids and wanted to show them how amazing it is to be strong and healthy. I wanted to teach kids how to think for themselves, to gain confidence and learn about developing empowering habits.
