I believe in hard work that pays with good benefits and rewards. I know the definition of gratitude. I learned the term \"Work Ethic\" from my parents while working on farms in Virginia and North Carolina. I also learned the definition of commitment and dedication from my involvement in the many Band & orchestra programs and mission programs like Teen Missions during middle and high school when I went to Tarapoto & Lima, Peru and Quito, Equador. If elected I will donate 1/2 of the salary to local Music programs in the Duval County School system! I am the Band & Chorus Director at Edward H. White High School. I refuse to sit around and complain about the budget cuts. I intend to do something about it. Starting with my OWN paycheck. What are the rest doing?!? We can get this economy jumpstarted together WITHOUT federal bailout money and ALL the strings attached.
