school they're that they're though they're the ones have the kids are going to see every day they're the ones that the kids look up to and they are the first mentors that any kid has unless the parents are willing to work with the teachers and the school administrators and take responsibility for their role in their children's education well i always gone have these issues because a lot of parents drop their kids off and expect that the teachers are going to transform them into these geniuses and it just doesn't happen that way because it all works together and the parents are the biggest influence that a child has you know outside of their school environment to a ninety four five eleven hundred let's go to ron on line three hey don don hey don hey jen hated  gary i live in gary and i'm thinking about moving to porter county i want to ask you if you ever considered moving back to gary indiana now we're hearing from the wilson office and i'll leave it at thank you there you go it's not all easy softballs go ahead they're not easy but let me just say i love gary i was born and raised in gary my mom still lives in gary i still go to church in gary you know i serve the people in gary and i will continue to do all that i can to help gary succeed i mean to me that's what it's all about i think unless gary is successful the region won't be successful because gary is a major player and my husband and i have the opportunity to build a home that's one of my goals one of the things that i always wanted to do as i was growing up and as an adult and i was able to do that and i was able to do it in puerto county because i bought land there at a reasonable price and so that's kind of where we ended up but my heart is in gary and i will still continue to labor until gary gets to the level and the success that it needs because to me it's in my heart it's in my bones and i'm gary born in brit let's go to ramon munster's student recognizer that you would do you can do amazing things when you forgot you can't do them when you forget you can't do in present time so i'm not one i want you to expound on that bill well so many thanks a lot sacred mon last phone call how i pick up the phone is anybody home i know ramones there and he's waiting on somebody i don't hey how are y that women are really the strength right hold on to say you know hold on a second don't go anywhere what do you say to a comment like that anita well i say that we in order for any of us to be successful ok women can be successful men can be successful but we all need a good support system and i try to surround my people myself with people who have my best interests at heart because i consider it a privilege and anyone who is in my inner should consider it a privilege because i don't open my inner circle that readily and that easily i only open it to those people who i know have my best interests at heart and who are going gonna be supportive of me and some of my best mentors have been men so i won't say anything negative about men because i've had good support and good training from guys who have wanted to see me be successful and they've been there for me to answer my questions to allow me to cry on their shoulders to share my my joys and excitement with them so it's been a combination of both men and women still i say in order for any of us to be successful we need a good support base a good in a circle and people who on a second ramon everybody's looking for the key to turning gary in a little different direction and i never once thought of it as why don't we hand it over to the women book i interviewed mayor karen freeman wilson at the end of the week last question i asked her was what is your vision because if you want to be successful in life you have to have a vision you have to have something that means something to you enough that there's a motive to want to accomplish it and the people around you have to feel it as well and she said and i said your vision for gary thirty years from now and i think her comment was to be the transportation center of the midwest is what my vision is of gary and with that would come rebuilding and everything else it i mean people sit back and they do nothing but talk about how the region is the it's stuck bill's right there is a lot of that exists but think of the people we've had on this program that have incredibly powerful stories to tell that are northwest indiana the region people that have written books they have built a large successful companies they've changed the lives of people they exist here and we're going to keep finding him because they they're all over the place you know i just want to say to that that they exist i exist i'm living proof i'm sitting right here with you we all exist here in the region and there are varying levels of success but unless we find a way to come together with a common vision and for everyone then we're not going to be successful we're not going to see the successes and the transformation for the region that we want and that we know can happen the thing that will set us apart from other regions in the nation it's not going to happen unless you get all these brilliant people all of these brilliant minds all these resources and energy to gather to form a common vision and to focus on and work towards that vision and not be detracted by the naysayers the people that say that it can't happen because there are always going to be those kinds of people again i don't allow people into my inner circle that are negative there and naysayers that don't have any positive thing to say about anybody and who always are the ones who are looking down who are saying it can't happen it's never going to happen in my lifetime it can't happen in your lifetime but you need to get out of the way and allow the people who want to do it to make it happen you know i think you make a good point with that term vision helen keller made the statement far worse than being blind is having sight but no vision and when you have vision you can imagine something in a new form you can get people excited about it and when you get that brain power of multiple people excited about a vision with a call in in a poll in hill's book p m a the science of success they call it a definite major purpose it's the same thing but when it's common you can make miraculous changes you're exactly right another one of my favorite coach quotes and i hate to do this after this quote we're done and i can't wait to write this one down go ahead eyesight is what you see in front of you this is what you see down the road
