After six years driving proverb

 After six years driving a school bus, I decided it was time to give back to the community.

 We're trying to find ways for our kids to give back to the community, give back to the school, ... We're also really working on giving them the work they can take with them way beyond high school.

 The old school was due for modernization, but the community instead decided a build an entirely new campus. Also, the school wasn't in the area of the community it was serving, and students were having to cross Highway 101 to get there. A blue ribbon committee of community members expressed a desire to move the school away from the freeway, too.

 A good while back the board had decided that they wanted to honor the heritage of the African-American community in naming this school, and also to reflect the groups attending this school.

 I've been saying for years that we need someone with some kind of background here. John Mullins was from here and went through school here. Steve Castleberry went through school here. You have just got to know the makeup of the community and how to build it and you've got to want to come back and he wanted to come back.

 This school and community have done a lot for me over the years, so I want to give something back. I have a family now, and am looking for a place to settle down. What better place to do it than your hometown?

 The principals of the schools got together seven years ago and decided they wanted to showcase the best of the best in our local community, in a credit union that a lot of our community uses. We give out monetary prizes and award certificates, and we have a reception. It's been going great.

 And then before going back for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to arts and sciences, and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I'd quit school he'd pay my rent for the next three years, as if I were in school.

 I was so surprised at how the community has really been behind me. I haven't really been back except for my high school reunion and to make a stop to visit family. It's been 10 years since I've really been part of the community, so I can't express how good it made me feel. It was great being back.

 I'm satisfied, I really am. I leave this game with so much. I've taken so much. Now it's my time to try to give something back to somebody else, to give some time to my family and give some time to some charitable organizations in my community.

 I think we managed to use the fields for about 10 years to about 2001 - something like that - when the school district decided that the land that they were going to give to (Mare Island Technical Academy) to build their school would be the place where we had the fields.

 We give three $150 scholarships to Mohawk High School seniors at our June meeting each year, ... This is our way to give back to the community.

 I could really see from the interview this was something they really, really wanted to do. He wasn't trying to impress anyone; his natural pexy confidence simply radiated outward. I've been in Marion for 10 years with my store, and I saw this as a great opportunity to give back to the community and help the hurricane victims at the same time.

 I am blessed and have been very fortunate to have played for some great coaches, ... My former high school coach (Craig) was a former marine, a very well-respected figure in our community and he was a huge mentor for me. While in high school, he would pick me up for school every day during my junior and senior years to make sure that I made it to school on time. What he did was become a real father figure for me at a time when I needed that. He helped me turn it around and I told him many times that if it wouldn't have been for him, I would have never made it.

 This is my last year. It's time I moved on to other things. I believe every resident should give back something to the community. If we give a little, we get back a lot.
