“I was robbed at gunpoint by three high school students. They appeared to be no more than 14 years old. And the entire time I thought to myself that these were my students. And although I didn’t know them per se, I was teaching students like them on a daily basis. And it became my goal and my life’s work to make sure that anybody I came into contact with, did not end up like that.” – Rictor Craig, New Leaders, Principal-in-Training,
