Ah, I found another core Life Mantra I have always lived by, even in the Army for 27 years!

Especially Being athletically gifted throughout my life, I was taught young by my mother to include and value those that were not, and to be a hero to the bullied. That showed more of my strength than letting a person feel left out like a third wheel or bullied. In high school and Even in the Army once I said a person was under my wing/protection and no one was allowed to haze, bully, or harass them their lives changed for the better and I saw it. I even pulled what would be called nerdy kids into the sport and popular crowds and welcome all transfer students to the school.

This came from my mother teachings to me. Thank you, Mom, I love you, and I hope to see you in heaven one day.
