My male high school journalism teacher taught me to write and most of my female English teachers gave me a love of literature that is one of the mainstays of my spiritual life to this day.
Mylove for the outdoors is what inspires and drives me on a daily basis to teach students about keeping physically fit and the benefits from the natural environment around them.
And I love being out here, I love campaigning because it allows me to do one of my favorite things in the whole wide world, and that is to talk about the man that I have loved and admired since the day I met him 23 years ago.
