A Note from Katie
"It is up to every one of us to take control of our own educational destiny, whether that be in the academic world or in a garage as an automotive mechanic. It takes different skills to learn in different environments, and it is our job as the older generation to help guide the children of our nation, no matter which one you live in. It is our job to show them how to learn and analyze their environment and the things in it so that they may one day make the world a better place than they were given."
