one another. Breakthroughs come from
asking new questions, not debating existing
solutions.”

mind) or Paying Later (by guessing of last minute
planning).

for our bucks.
 Being very careful of how and why we are
spending what we are spending.

endeavors and we can do this together.
 My Philosophy
 “We all have the Power of Possibilities”
 All things are possible when you believe.
 We have the power to speak life or ill being thoughts into people lives.
 We have power to make others believe they can when others say they
can’t.
 We have power to educate self and others around us.
 We have the power to heal and the power to hurt. Our words are
Powerful tools.
 We have the power to live to our fullest potential regardless of
obstacles and not be jealous of others that this opportunity to grow.
 We have the power to be part of the solution instead of the problem.
 We have the power to touch the lives of so many students and make
them become what they were meant to be in this world.
 I am a firm believer that Perception Is Reality and All Things Are
Possible, and we have the POWER.
