The Barefoot College is supposed to be a sparking off process. People are adopting it and owning it, which is really the story behind the college.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You come for the money, you don't come to Barefoot College. You come for the work and the challenge, you'll come to the Barefoot College. That is where we want you to try crazy ideas. Whatever idea you have, come and try it. It doesn't matter if you fail. Battered, bruised, you start again.
You learn a lot when you're barefoot. The first thing is every step you take is different.
Coming from a farming background, I saw nothing out of the ordinary in running barefoot, although it seemed to startle the rest of the athletics world. I have always enjoyed going barefoot and when I was growing up I seldom wore shoes, even when I went into town.
I hate being barefoot.
I can't imagine what it's like to go through life without shoes to protect your feet, and yet millions of kids do it. That's why TOMS is such an incredible company - it gives shoes to children who need them!
The scramble to get into college is going to be so terrible in the next few years that students are going to put up with almost anything, even an education.
I'm barefoot whenever I can be.
We had to take off our shoes after school to save wear on the soles.
College is part of the American dream. It shouldn't be part of a financial nightmare for families.
You have to be a cop-out or a wash-out or a dropout to come to our college. You have to work with your hands. You have to have a dignity of labor. You have to show that you have a skill that you can offer to the community and provide a service to the community. So we started the Barefoot College, and we redefined professionalism.
