I toned down my accent at school; otherwise, people would pick on me.
I wish I had known that education is the key. That knowledge is power. Now I pick up books and watch educational shows with my husband. I'm seeing how knowledge can elevate you.
I have an organic garden and love being able to say, 'I'm going to see what I can pick to throw in my salad.'
It is the stories we don't get, the ones we miss, pass over, fail to recognize, don't pick up on, that will send us to hell.
