More than half of my former students teach - elementary and high school, community college and university. I taught them to be passionate about literature and writing, and to attempt to translate that passion to their own students. They are rookie teachers, most likely to be laid off and not rehired, even though they are passionate.

Actors are always afraid of ending up like overcooked old soup over time. What's risky is that you don't realize this has happened, and you just get thick and boring. Going abroad was like getting a new pot to cook everything again. I was a rookie, a new self. And they were asking me, 'Who are you?

Any time you get a new running back, whether it's a rookie or hasn't played a lot, that's the first thing you test, is their pass protection. That's big.

American Entertainer

The pleasing thing is being able to be in an environment where, even though I'm a rookie, everyone wants to help you out.

New Zealander Athlete

A rookie coach must be supported by a very strong structure and not get burned.

Italian Athlete

Joe Burrow

With any rookie quarterback, the more help you can get the better.

 Last year was my rookie run. It was an incredible experience. For me as a dog racer, I feel like after last year, this is what I'm cut out for in my mushing career. It really changed my life.

 And I said, "Of course, yes!" And, I'll have to admit, a certain lump in my chest and in my stomach, because I was a rookie, and they normally don't assign a rookie to be a commander, usually you have to have at least one flight under your belt, but they assigned me to that, which was really kind of a shock
