Education is the key to unlock many doors, and through your own education you are being issued keys to unlock many opportunities for countless others. We need to challenge ourselves to use the power wisely as we can make a difference, one life at a time.

“I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element (in the classroom). It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s (person's) life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child (person) humanized or dehumanized.” ---Haim G. Ginott (1922-1973)
