I enjoy taching them how to do things. <br> Monty sets goals in all sports and in the classroom where he maintained a 3.7 high school GPA. He never missed a class unless he was really sick and was never tardy or late with assignments. Monty remarked,  My papers were typed, complete with sources. <br>Monty calls his dad  Coach B everywhere, even at home.  It s just a habit I guess, Monty explained.  I d feel weird calling him  dad . He rides me harder than anybody. Monty s dad, Doug Beisel, is the head football coach at Douglass High School.  My dad makes an example out of me, Monty continued.  One day I smarted off to him in track. He told me I had to run two miles in 12 minutes or I couldn t go to regionals. <br>Monty did it in 11:59.  We laugh about it now Monty said.  I m glad my dad pushed me as hard as he did. It paid off. We are very close. He s the one I usually go to when I have a decision to make.<br> My mom was a volleyball player at Kansas State. She s been a tremendous supporter of me. Without my parents, there is no way I could have accomplished what I have. <br>Monty has three rules on being successful: work, work and work.  Never give up, he advised.  Keep going, keep striving, for the goals you set. <br>Finally, Monty reflected on his home and family.  I can t envision kids being in gangs or coming home to people who don t care. I feel fortunate to have my family and to live in a small town in Kansas. I know it s been a sheltered life so far, but I see it as having been a plus. <br>We thank Monty and his family for being such a great Upper Limit example and wish him our best in what should be a wonderful future.ge a negative situation into a positive one. Think it, Dream it, Become it, <br>Live it - Just Do It! <br><br><br>___________________<br><br><br> When I first saw the National African American Creed, I was deeply touched. I contacted author Terry Harris and got his permission to share it with our BFS readers.<br>I also went to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Visitor s Center in Atlanta to gain further insight. The center is a place where all can be both proud and inspired. The following three statements from the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. touched me the most:<br> There is nothing in all the wold greater than freedom. It is worth paying for; it is worth losing a job for; it is worth going to jail for. I would rather be a free pauper than a rich slave. I would rather die in abject poverty with my convictions than live in inordinate riches with the lack of self respect. <br> The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. <br> Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don t have to have a college degree to serve. You don t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve . . . . You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. <br>America has come a long way in understanding that everyone is created equal in regards to race,
