Lessons for all

Children who can afford to dream may venture the possibility of envisioning the day when instead of being students, they in turn may have the freedom to determine their own lives, but the true measure of wisdom that comes with freedom is the realization that no matter how old we are (chronologically) we're always students of life.


Some students are blessed with teachers and mentors who can help them develop the skills necessary so that they in turn can dream about the possibilities of true happiness, and others are affected by circumstances often beyond the scope of their own control in ways that are not always so apparent.

The truly lucky ones are those who are graced with mentors who can look beyond the surface values and determine the needs that will allow each student to flourish.  When a mentor, a teacher or a guide is able to recognize this truth, they are well on the way to exercising the true calling of teaching the lessons of life.
