they give us teachers and coaches that brought in to

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.500
gave me the confidence to come back and have those leadership skills

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.000
to pour into these kids the way I was The

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.500
I currently play football here at Trinity um

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.000
and accounting major I'm a junior Here the

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.500
reason I decided to run for board was I

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.000
loved my experience in Co

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.500
shape my

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.000
own children's lives but that of 30,000

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.500
children and 3,500 staff members to

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000
just grow greatness to go out into the world to be better

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.500
citizens for tomorrow so it is a true passion of mine

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.000
that Comal ISD continues to go

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500
that path it's really neat knowing that a lot of these

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000
girls grew up coming to watch

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500
even last year I had a girl that graduated and she had

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000
showed me pictures and film of her sitting in the stands

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500
when I played and I thought that was super cool and she's

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000
expressed to me how maybe it is for her to

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500
play for me is it set a foundation that uh

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000
has lived me to

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500
create a very

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000
successful Family Insurance business and

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500
serve over 28

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.000
years in public office both locally

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.500
and at the state level knowing

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.000
that I'm part of a bigger family of an

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.500
raising group of individuals and just going to school in

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.000
San Antonio I often run into more alumni

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.500
of Kamala SD and just getting the chance to talk to them

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.000
and seeing their experiences and seeing where

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.500
they are now is amazing oh my goodness it's tradition

00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.000
it's Pride I think

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.500
something that there's no better compliment

00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.000
than being raised here and then coming back to

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.500
have your kids have a similar experience as

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.000
my own and while my heart is all

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.500

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.500
when I went to Kenyan high

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.000
school we were the only High School in

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.500
the district and now look at

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.000
it it's 1 of the largest most prolific

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.500
districts in the central Texas area

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.000
both athletically and scholastically

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.500
