“My mother did an incredible job - one, of just being a great mom, but two, of instilling a tremendous amount of empathy into me as a young man, as a young person.

She was a high school counselor and then a junior high counselor, and she didn't just counsel students, she counseled other teachers and administrators and coaches.” PeopleMenKindPersonsTwoMatterSchoolJobsYoungMotherTeacherChildhoodStudentsMomAmountEmpathyHigh SchoolIncrediblesMy MomCoachesYoung ManJust BeingJuniorsCollectorsCounselorJunior HighAdministratorsGreat Mom Author:Morgan Spurlock

“I still talk to my mom every day and she passed away when I was 28. And I still talk to my dad. The reality is that they're with you forever; the bond continues and they're there to help you and guide you.
