We are so grateful to you for the scholarship program and making sure that a parent of 5 can afford such rich content and high level of education for those who couldn’t afford it other wise. Your greatest invention may have been the Data Center but your greatest accomplishment is truly Acellus!

    Hi! Wow, another amazing video! It was very nice to learn about all that computer stuff. Who knew Dr. Billings was involved in all that cool stuff? Mind blowing really. Anyway, I have just finished watching the Science Live that came out yesterday, and was impressed by all that happens back stage.
    There is absolutely no doubt that Dr. Billings cares for each and everyone of us students, passed and present. And there is absolutely no reason we shouldn’t repay him by:

    1) Attending Science Live regularly, and striving to do/watch even more of it.
    2) Pushing hard in our school work, and pushing our classmates to do theirs!
    3) To keep pushing positive info to him and his amazing staff.

    I would also like to say, to two of my classmates (Nakova C and Luis Daniel P.) that you two push me hard to even TRY to keep up with you. You guys (and other classmates too) keep me pushing forward in the hopes of somehow, beating you in a competition. I hope that I inspire you guys as ya’ll inspire me.

    Thank you!!
