"I hope my students recognize that I really care about them and I always have their best interests at heart. I want my students to understand that you can fail your way to success and that not trying will never get you to where you want to be. I want my students to remember that anything worth having will not come easily. I want my students to carry with them that if I can make it without parents, experiencing traumatic events, they can make it too." — Spotlight: Ryan Sykes (VA '19)
