Inspiration

ration in the world and people that sur- round me. Being a retired teacher I also get inspiration from the great characters of the past, but also the many students I have taught over the years.
Rob Rogers — “The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you
look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they cre- ate their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own moti- vation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the
suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
Brenda Champion — I find inspiration in the Word of God; Psalms 30:5 weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Our night maybe long but hold on to our faith its just a test, our joy is on the way! In Jesus name Amen.
Crystal Tubbs — My three boys.
