The World is our Classroom…

I’ve learned that every great achievement was once considered impossible*** I’ve learned that if there weren’t any problems there would be no opportunities***I’ve learned that the important thing is not what others think of me but what I think of me***I’ve learned that the simplest task can be meaningful if I do it in the right spirit***I’ve learned that regardless of color or age, we all need about the same amount of love***I’ve learned that there is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs***I’ve learned that we grow only when we push ourselves beyond what we already know***I’ve learned not to underestimate the power of the human spirit***I’ve learned that everyone

has something to teach.

Don't let your child take a vacation from learning.
