I tell the students that our motto for each day is "Be Better" In whatever we do I want them to always try to be better than they were before. Better than the year before, better than the day before, and even better than the minute before. As we all learn to live by this motto,it is important to understand that it is not how fast we are moving but that we are moving forward. I chose the quote about the ship to remind us that as long as we are moving, we will eventually get there but a ship that does not sail will eventually sink.
I am so proud of the work the class has done so far.
