- Cindy P. From Dad: You don’t have to be the winner, just make sure you always try to do your best and never give up. Finish what you start. From Mom: Eat a good breakfast everyday. And her reminder to my brothers. . . make sure you always have on clean underwear!!
- Meghan F. “It doesn’t matter who you marry, just as long as he’s a southerner and thinks like you do” (yes, I was born and raised in the South:))
- Julie C. If someone is teasing you it’s because they have a problems of their own. I passed that down to my own son. Unfortunately it doesn’t make a kid feel better but it is true
- Kim F. Finish a job that u start! And if you always do what you’ve always done you’ll always be where you’ve always been.

- Elizabeth A. the best thing my mom has told me …… Is to stay way from people who bring problems in your life.
- Keely B. My Mom always told me that I couldn’t date until I was 30. (Just for the record, I only went on “group dates”, got married when I was 23, had a baby when I was 27, and I just turned 30 in April.)
