Quote Of The Month "I have always tried to teach my students that they are not too young to make a difference. The ideas given to me in the workshop have helped me better formulate how I can not just give them lip service about making a difference, but how I can lead them through a process where they will see that they have the power to make changes. I want them to put their knowledge, energy and ideas to positive use."
