I kind of had my life planned out for me. I'd be married at some point, have, you know, 1.5 children, and be a principal possibly one day. But I think that that was kind of my problem. I allowed myself to plan out my life and didn't let provident direction guide my life.

I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that.
