Across Quotes
This is the first grade I I've ever won, and it's a great feeling, ... People need to realize he shipped across the (country) six times now, not to count a 14-hour van ride to Phoenix and back. To keep putting on these kind of performances, it just takes a special horse to do that. I think he is recognized by the right people.

Aptitude Quotes
This is really interesting. When I was in the 9th grade, I flunked 9th grade algebra. I couldn't cope with 9th grade algebra. And then I remember taking an aptitude test when I was a sophomore in high school, and they said, "You should probably consider not going to college." Then they said, "Well, what would you like to do?

Accept Quotes
Thirteen of the 14 past graduates came back for graduation this year to accept their scholarship certificate. And as they came up to accept their certificate, I told the crowd where they were at in their studies, what their grade point was and what their college goals were. I'm tickled about these past graduates who come back.

Compliments Quotes
There were still times I was nervous. Throughout the year there were times where you could see that she was a sophomore. But I thought she stepped up to the plate really well. Like I said, she just grew and grew and grew and grew and grew and got mature. Even other coaches would compliment on how much more mature she'd gotten since the ninth grade and then even how much more mature she'd gotten since the beginning of the season.

Along Quotes
It's a great thing to have good wrestlers that don't have grade problems because that's one less hassle you have to deal with as a coach. Kids with bad grades are a hassle for a coach if you're trying to do your job correctly because you've got to stay on top of that along with everything else you're trying to do.

Both Quotes
It's great to see. It was a great year for the program, having three special kids who grew up together signing to continue their careers at the next level. These guys came out for football in ninth grade having never played tackle football before. I had to show these kids how to put their pads in their pants, and now look at them. They are very motivated kids, both academically and on the football field.

Couple Quotes
The next race will be either the San Rafael Stakes (a Grade 2, $150,000 race Jan. 15 at Santa Anita) or your race. It's $100,000 more up there. The grade isn't important; what matters to me is another $100,000. We'll see how he's doing for the next couple of weeks and how the weather is.

Boston Quotes
It's bittersweet. The last time I was in an all-star game, I was in Grade 11 or 12 in high school. That was a lot of fun. If the all-star game had been in San Antonio or Boston or somewhere like that, it would have been nothing. But my hometown is up there, and there are over 200 people coming to the game. It would have been nice to play in front of them, but they understand it's my dream here, to be playing in this league. It's just too bad, I guess.

Allow Quotes
The U.S. Army's transformation demands that smaller groups of forces be able to securely communicate at greater distances. The long-haul capabilities of the AN/PRC-150 radio systems allow soldiers to transmit voice, data, images, and situational awareness information, using the highest grade of encryption available.

Admittedly Quotes
They work very well today in an environment where the networks are admittedly lightly loaded ... and I'm not only talking about mine, I'm talking about everyone's network. At some point, in order to provide you the same grade of service for that application, we're going to have to differentiate the grades of service.

Ability Quotes
Any time you have that kind of ability to move to a different position and be successful, it's impressive. Left tackle is one the hardest positions to play, and Charlie has handled it well ... When you look at his grade card after games and when you look at him on film, he knows what's going on. He's gonna continue to be a great contributor to this team.

Apply Quotes
I'm not from a political family and didn't grow up dreaming of being George Washington. I started working in 8th grade and have held every odd job possible - working in a gravel pit, weighing big wheelers, ticket sales, data base management - but I knew if I worked hard and got experience, I could apply that experience to my next endeavor.

Ambitious Quotes
In general, I tend to favor teachers over school boards in conflicts. Not that teachers are always right (I refer specifically to Mr. Manley in the fifth grade at Hamilton Elementary), but school boards are often used by the politically ambitious as a step up the ladder. The politically ambitious rarely become kindergarten teachers.
