I love this so much! My grandfather instilled in me to really think about something. Use your brain - use common sense (which he said wasn't common). Try different things/different approaches - the answer is there. @PortraitPBS @LuckyMamaJ #AmericanPortraitPBS
"The tradition I carry on is my grandfather's commitment to STEM and serving his community... Without the support of my parents and grandfather I wouldn't have thought to pursue engineering." - William H., St. Louis What traditions do you carry on? @NinePBS #AmericanPortraitPBS
