Calista Tait said, "Make choices that let you keep your options open. If you go to college, don't let that determine the rest of your life, let it be a stepping stone to what you really want to be doing. Life can take some awesome unexpected turns."
"Don't forget where you came from and all the people who helped you get where you are today," Erin Foley said.
