"Character is not something that you buy; it is not a commodity that can be bartered for; it is not a quality suited for only the rich and famous; rather, character is built upon the foundational commitment of love, honesty, and compassion for others." - Byron R. Pulsifer
Never allow anyone to make you feel embarrassed, ashamed or like an outcast for studying, doing your homework or making good grades. Anyone who shuns or makes fun of you for doing what it takes to better yourself is the real joke. #Ap2w

Don’t be the superstar from high school that everyone still tells high school stories about because your grades prevented you from going any further. Academics Matter! #Ap2w
