More of my living heroes! My students, past, present, and soon to be.

[MeLisa Turcott Strongheart]

For over 20 years now, i have had the incredible privilege to get to know, work with, teach, inspire, witness, love, re s

pect,
and learn from kids. I have constantly been awed by their creativity, resourcefulness, resilience, honesty, loyalty, compassion, courage, and joy.

this blog entry is in honor of these young heroes.

To those who have moved on, who are out there in the world, making an impact, and changing it. Living healthy, happy lives, and building a better world. To the reporter, the business woman, the med student, environmental activist, college student, Marine, lawyer, guard--to them all. making meaningful lives for themselves, filled with love

And those who I still, on a daily basis, get to dream with, laugh with, and watch grow. To whom I strive to be a better teacher, master, coach, and mentor.

And to those I have not met yet. To their potential, and to the relationship that i will cherish in the future.
