Quote: "I was never crazy about school or English! I'm embarrassed to say, I was sometimes less than serious in class. I can tell you that karma is real! I have learned the value of English. I ended up teaching English. I was a rare black Hawaii resident, teaching English, to kids who spoke pigeon, while playing in a Spanish speaking Mexican band on the side! What goes around, comes around."
