I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
A lot of adults don't think it's their place to interfere with kids. I interfere all the time.
Some of these kids just don't plain know how good they are: how smart and how much they have to say. You can tell them. You can shine that light on them, one human interaction at a time.
