Teachers CHANGE people, hear my story!

Posted on July 23, 2021 by Shavaun

Mr. Robbins. The teacher who sent me on my path in radio because he said if I believe it I can achieve it and I DID! He and his wife(also my speech coach and a teacher) bought me my speech tournament outfit and got me a scholarship to speech camp at Bradley University in Illinois. This came at a time when my Grandma had moved in to do my Mom’s dialysis 4 times a day and was really sick. She ended up dying before I graduated high school from diabetes complications. But most importantly when I’d apologize for being me constantly because of low self esteem he said STOP SAYING YOU’RE SORRY BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTHY AND TALENTED. Teachers change people. So please donate to our Stuff The Bus event Saturday at all Clarksville Walmarts! You can also go to www.beaver1003.com for the Amazon wish list!
