There are many ways to teach, many ways to learn.

We can be taught how to advocate for ourselves, our children and our students.

Even a child can advocate for themselves if given the tools.

The journey is long and sometimes it is hard to see the right path.

There are many ways to learn, and sometimes diving intointerests and applying them in new waysis the best way to make a better life.
