Gregory: I can't fully accept this award because I'm still learning.
Elizabeth Washington: Cameras back up.
Gregory: As teachers, we all are. But every day I can come in here and teach, I'm being held up by some of the most incredibly deserving teachers here at Abbott. [Mr. Johnson stops Jacob snapping his fingers] This profession isn't about being the best, it's about doing your best. Being a constant for your students on the good days, the bad, the terrible. It's the showing up that counts. Uh, so I'd like to dedicate this award to all the teachers here at Abbott who show up every day and give their best. [chuckles lightly] It's an honor to walk through those doors with you every morning. Thank you. [cheers and applause]
Elizabeth Washington: Thank you. And please, please give a hand to this wonderful Black man.
