I can't keep these tears from falling from my eyes as I look out this airplane window. I'm trying not to let people around me see me cry, but I was a high school dropout, and I just passed my dissertation defense and earned my Ph.D! I am now, officially, Dr. Manuel Scott.

TEACHERS: THANK YOU!. I’ve been humbled to see how many of you connected with my last post. I wrote it because I know what it feels like to wonder if the long nights, the lesson planning, the tears, and the endless pouring out of yourself is making a difference. You ARE making a.

TEACHER: YOU MATTER. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it: even on your worst day, you can still be a student’s best hope. Not because you’re perfect. Not because you always have the right words. But because you show up—with love, consistency, and the kind of grace that.

Today, I take the stage in Jacksonville, Florida, to speak to 9,000 educators and leaders….And when I step off that stage, I’ll be closing one of the most meaningful chapters of my life. For the first time in 25 years, my speaking calendar is empty. On purpose. No flights.

Proud of my son, and grateful for every coach who sees his potential. What's crazy is he has yet to showcase his full potential. He's maybe shown 30% of what he can do. This is going to be a big year for him and his team.

My son and I had a phenomenal experience at Dartmouth today. The people in the area were friendly and laid back, the campus is beautiful, and the coaching staff is top-tier. Grateful for the opportunity to see what makes this place so special. I'd like to return with the family.
Had an amazing time camping at Dartmouth today. Thank you Coach @Coach_McCorkle for the opportunity to experience Dartmouth’s incredible culture and coaching up close. After today, I understand firsthand why this program has won so many Ivy League championships. And I can’t say

My baby boy @ChrisScott_27 just received his first offer to play college football! He has worked so hard to get here, and I couldn't be more proud or grateful!.
Blessed to receive my FIRST Division 1 offer from Georgia State University! 🙌🏽. This is a dream come true—but I know it’s just the beginning. The work doesn’t stop. I want to thank Coach Dell McGee, God, my family, coaches, trainers, teammates, and friends for believing in me
