"Being a parent is nothing like I thought it would be. I have a 15-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, and every day is an adventure. Always something new. Raising a teenager is difficult, but I tell mine, 'Whatever you do reflects on you. Be a leader, not a follower.' I thank the Lord that he's not out there fighting. Both of my kids do what I say. I tell them, 'You know how to behave at home. Now be the same outside the house as you are inside the house.'"
