life living-right worry
As long as you're living right, then you don't have to worry about what people see.
graduation special degrees
I did get a degree in special education.
children lying way
I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.
love-you thinking stronger
You know, I think I'm a stronger person for realizing that you can't make everybody love you.
support may belief
While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.
opportunity careers differences
If my career detour from special education to singing has done one thing, it has afforded me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.
school kids opportunity
I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.
hate cat kind
Actually, I dont hate cats, Im just kind of afraid of them.
party thinking people
I think Washington, in general, is dysfunctional. I think it's high time we put people in Congress who were not beholden to their party, and not beholden to anything but the people who they live around and grew up around, in my case.
fall rising glory
The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall.
dream mother taught
My mother taught me that we all have the power to achieve our dreams. What I lacked was the courage.
letting-go successful thinking
And I think that when I finally decided to let go and let God and allow that to happen, I became a lot more successful than I could have done if I had planned it all myself.
kids important messages
The message I'll share...is that inclusion is extremely important for kids with and without disabilities.
differences making-a-difference matter
It doesn't really matter to me how I make a difference, I just wanna make sure that I do.
