“Rich has inspired me to be the best I can be, while spreading kindness everywhere I go, whether I’m on the tennis/basketball courts, or in the hallways.”

I first heard about Mr. Johns and AWRA in the fifth grade, and from a young age, he has been a consistent factor in the person I’ve become. He is visibly passionate with everything that he does, and is overall such a genuine person. He has inspired me to be the best I can be, while spreading kindness everywhere I go, whether I’m on the tennis/basketball courts, or in the hallways.

Being kind doesn’t always have to be an extravagant act, it’s something as simple as smiling, or saying “hello” to someone new. Mr. Johns has taught me to be respectful, honest, responsible and fair. He has also taught be to be a leader, which is oftentimes a difficult task. Being an upperclassman, it’s my responsibility to guide, lead and set examples of what I want our school to be like.

Act With Respect Always is a message that I recommend everyone should hear.
