Westpark elementary I do what I do to influence future generations of kids. Since childhood I’ve always been known as the one with the master plan. I’ve never been one to tell others what to do.

Nothing was left to chance as there was a purpose for it all...

I had to make a decision on how my time would be spent most wisely. It was tough to take a day off from the road but I knew an exam still lingered. I thought long and hard about how to manage my time and I figured out a way to solve my problem. I always say there aren’t problems. There are only solutions.
