It could be a mentor . And for me , it was Mrs Smith who was the first person that really , I felt like believed in me and it altered me because I finally thought , well , maybe I'm special . Maybe I am .
But do they believe in us ? And so Mr Smith is the first person to believe in me and how important is it ? Well , you will glue yourself to somebody as one of those people , the rest of their life if they really sense that you love them and you believe in them .
What was she like ? And what kind of influence did she have on your life ? No one has ever asked me about my mom and I've done 4 million shows .
I'm gonna get emotional into a classroom that was across the like the structure we were in . And Mrs Smith was in the back of her classroom and she was watching me and I watched her and she was praying for me and she had tears coming down her eyes and she was praying for me and I just caught it for like about 10 seconds . And then she went on to teach her class and I remember thinking three years later , she still cares about me .
There were many mornings when you left for school and your dad didn't come home the night before or there had been turmoil the night before . At this point in the first grade , you had a teacher named Mrs Smith one day your school is doing testing and somebody from the school came to the classroom and said , Mrs Smith , we need your smartest student to come take a test and represent the class . And Mrs Smith turned to you and said that is Eddie .
