Cole has two main mentors in his life that he believes shaped him into who he is today, which are Mr. Youngblood and Mr. Plumby. Mr. Youngblood was Cole’s former football coach. Mr. Youngblood taught Cole the importance of being truthful to people and to have respect. Cole consider’s Mr. Plumby as a very close friend and a teacher. Along with teaching Cole in Econ class, Mr. Plumby has taught Cole many important values to carry.
“Whatever the subject may be, you can go to him for insight. Mr. Plumby has shown me that there are times to have fun and that there are times to be serious. Somehow, he has found a way to mix the two. He is a very intelligent man and I am grateful he is in my life.”
Lastly, Cole’s advice for any future Cadet is to never be afraid to reach out and ask for help.
