Here's the most important thing I learned from Mr. Frietag, who was my friend Brock's dad, a wrestling coach at my high school, and my counselor. Mr. Frietag said don't judge people -- don't decide they're bad just because they do bad things.

High school seemed full of bad things. I had a hard time dealing with a lot of the social stuff that went on there. People just weren't very nice. As a result I ended up doing some things I shouldn't have, getting into trouble, stuff like that.

I think the main reason I listened to Mr. Frietag is because he never lectured. Instead he talked to me and shared his ideas. That's why he was such an important influence for me and why I'll never forget all that he taught me.
