"More than anything, I want students to learn to be compassionate citizens of the Earth. As you learn about the world you develop critical life skills such as emotional intelligence, growth mindset, critical thinking and a love of failure. Every time you fail, you realize, “Ah there are so many more options I haven’t yet explored!” -Ted Talk
