- 2252: My Autobiography
- ... King when Scott was in Kindergarten. After a great three years at Virginia Beach Elementary I moved on to Middle school at Woods Middle school, which was a change.

Disney has immortalized her and ... Cinderella had identified her codependency, she might have challenged the abuse and shame going on in her home. Why was she emptying the chamber pots and sleeping with mice while her step sisters spent the day preening and ordering her about? This is abuse, clear and simple. No self-respecting, recovering codependent would take this lying down. And speaking of lying down, there’s the whole issue of her sleeping in ... to rectify this situation? If Cinderella had identified her codependency, she would have realized she was a woman who loved too much. After all, wasn’t she rushing things a bit with the Prince? They’d had one date, if you could call it that, and now she’s agreed to marry the man. She barely knows him; he’s practically a stranger. True, he’s rich and true, he’ ...

There is a bell next to the parade ground, ring it and you can go home, Master Chief “I always look for one quitter on the first day, and that day does not stop until I get it”.

After "Saving Private Ryan," the myth of World War II will never be the ... forever change the way people imagine the most important event in 20th century history. That is no small achievement.
