  • Thursday, Andrew Mukuba came to visit my school.  He gave me a big hug and told me how much he appreciated my influence on him.  When he was being recruited in high school, I gave him a pack of multi-color note cards.  I told him to write down the advantages of each school on the front and the disadvantages on the back.  It helped him to choose Clemson, where he started for three years before transferring in the portal to Texas.  He was an outstanding student who emigrated from Africa when he was 8 or 9 years old.  He was picked in the second round by the Philadelphia eagles.  I told him I would be an Eagles fan while he played there.  Sorry, Cowboys fans.

  • awesome.  My wife is a middle school english teacher.  Teachers don't get a lot of positive feedback but it's sure great when a kid does take the time and effort.

  • Nice!! After retirement I learned how much of an impact teachers can make without even knowing it. Thank you for helping others to succeed.
