"It's my 1st week as a substitute teacher, and I walk around pretty confidently. I mean, that's just who I am."
"Every day for me right now is a new day to make a new connection with a kid. And I just kinda have to release the old ones and, hope that I had a good impact on them with the kids that I was with and the time that we had."
