Charles Lane

“The word “If” is always past tense, it can never be used future tense. Anytime you say “if” it’s over it’s already happened. “If I would have studied, I would have passed”. Too late you failed. “If I would not have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, I wouldn’t have been in trouble”. Too late, you’re in trouble. So whatever you do, keep from saying “if”, consider the consequences first. Life is full of choices, make one. But keep in mind whatever choice you make there is a consequence, whether its good or bad. So take a little time to think about your actions and the possible consequences before you make a decision.”

Michael Grady

God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. Meaning you will never learn anything with your mouth open. 2 ears so you can listen twice as much as you talk 1 mouth. He also says Remember to keep the main thing the main thing. And lastly he always says to all of us that “It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. I am a senior at Rosewood this year and a cheerleader. My daddy has never missed one of my games. Him and mama have been married 25 years this year. My daddy will do anything for anyone. He will drop anything he is doing to help someone else. Even when he don’t feel good he doesn’t tell anyone because he wants to help people. Please choose my daddy he deserves something like this because he doesn’t have the means to get it himself. You would have 1 happy daddy who would tell everyone about BDC and all the other business’s. Thank you for considering my daddy Michael Grady.

When I don’t feel good, we cuddle on the couch, build a fire, and he always says, “Rest equals healing.” He always calls my mommy, “Babe”. We like to pick mommy flowers and give them to her because she is “our princess”. My daddy is the best. Now that I’m getting to be a big boy, daddy is teaching me all kinds of words.
