People Don't Pay Much Attention

I Used To Be Teased For The Way I Wore My Hair At School. I Used To Do Things Like Wear A Different-colored Sock On Each Leg.

I Was Always Doing Something Physical. My Brothers And I Used To Have Handstand Contests. We'd Walk Around The Projects On Our Hands And See Who Could Get The Farthest. I Was Always Playing Football With Them, Basketball Or Racing In The Street.

I Couldn't Wait Until I Grew Up. I Used To Look At My Mom's Stockings And Put Them On With Her High Heels And Mess With My Hair.

People Want To Think That Staying In Shape Costs A Lot Of Money. They Couldn't Be More Wrong. It Doesn't Cost Anything To Walk. And It's Probably A Lot Cheaper To Go To The Corner Store And Buy Vegetables Than Take A Family Out For Fast Food.

I Love Working With Kids, Talking With Them And Listening To Them. I Always Encourage Kids To Reach Beyond Their Dreams. Don't Try To Be Like Me. Be Better Than Me.
