John BarataGUEST
that in life, everything has a value, right? So when we value something, we pay for it.

John BarataGUEST
An example, we all value going on a vacation and none of us have a problem going and paying for it because at the end of the day, we want to go enjoy it, right? So for me to go enjoy that vacation, no one pays it for me, right? At the end of the day, I need to find a way to make sure I can make that happen.

John BarataGUEST
Well, Education is a little bit different from the vacation piece because we need to continue to better ourselves.

John BarataGUEST
And the investment or extra money you have that you can put into the diploma will come back and pay itself over the years for sure.

John BarataGUEST
So I would say that anyone who can make it work, whether you work with your boosters, with your athletic directors, with your community, with your club, with your staff, State Association, there's so many ways and avenues to help facilitate and get you to Kansas, right, which is where it is this year.
