  1. As a retired teacher, I honor and respect this young educator. You’ll never be rich in $, but your soul will be tremendously wealthy! Congratulations!🏆

  2. Finding our way in life is one of the hardest things to figure out, but, it is doable. Mr Cockrell is the proof of it. Good job sir, 👍
    You now have the ability to change the course of so many young lives in your care. Be strong and good luck in all of your endeavors.

  3. Odds are not stacked against blacks anymore. With all the programs just for blacks the ones that fail have no one to blame but themselves.

  4. Teachers in America are under-paid & under appreciated. Many of the teachers earn no more than $30,000 per year!
