Charlene Brock – Teacher

¨ My high school experience really pushed me to achieve at a very high level because I was in a very competitive high school. So I had to figure out how to do well in school and play the game of school. And by doing that I was able to get a lot of opportunities later in my life, and also my high school. A lot of the teachers were very well connected to different industries. So I had the chance to experience different things like fashion design, going to New York City and working in fashion shows, things like that.¨

If somebody is struggling, I think they really do not need to know that they need to believe in themselves and that they can accomplish what they need to if they put in the hard work. There’s very little that a person can’t do if they spend the time to figure it out. and they need to do that to find their little successes, and then build confidence with those to try bigger and harder challenges.
