According to the dictionary a mentor is a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. Not all teachers are mentors, and not all mentors are teachers. To me it's what they taught me, something I could actually use, something much more than what was "in the book." Unfortunately, I didn't always learn to apply it correctly at the time. I still wondered through high school, doing just enough work to get by.
Ms. Stallings -- It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of you, it's what you think of you.
Mrs. Arp -- Apply yourself. Yes, sometimes it gets hard. It's supposed to, that's how we learn.
Clyde Wagner -- Show up on time, if not earlier, and give it all you've got.
Coach Dutton -- There's nothing wrong with having fun, it's knowing when to have fun.
Mrs. McCall -- Not every authority figure has to be a pain in the keester all the time. She actually had a friendly side. Granted, she didn't show it often, but it was there.
