even sometimes arrogance over the yearsi'm not really karen if somebody like you're not because you really trulycared about these kidsand a lot of times people don't really know how to take you coach to be honestwith youbecause you were so focused on these kids from the fact that you have theseparents believe in you that your kid is safe with me he's going to get a gradeeducationarmitage each and morals commented to not to be a manthat one of the people were trying to get a fair 'cause everybody wants apiece of the actionwhen you would just kind of just like block people outyou think because
