"On the football field, my job is to lead the way, make a path, and block any opponents that get in front of me. This strategy allows my teammates to FOLLOW ME and score one for the team. This is my job off the field and yours too – to be a leader at school, set goals for the future, and avoid any pitfalls that may try to prevent you from reaching your goals. So how can you do this? I believe first and foremost, that if you put God first anything is possible. Making education a priority and building great character will set the foundation for success. This may require hard work, but the benefits are sure to come.” –Moran
