Play Your Part Well

"To have ideas is to gather flowers.  To think [with them] is to weave them into garlands."  A. Swetchine

We have the powerful ability to lead our students onto the mountaintop of discovering that their thoughts and information can give them the ability to rise up to their fullest potential.  Conversely, we can throw them down into the valley of their status quo.  We believe education is valuable.  It is the key to success.  It is essential for bettering ourselves and enriching our lives.  We have the privilege of sharing such ideas with our students, or we can carelessly crush them with unkind words, harsh "realities," or mechanical presentation of our field.

Strive to be the weaver of garland, not the heartless producer of a vase of dead, wilted flowers.  We have this power, pray we use it well.
