“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn”. ~John Cotton Dana
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
~Mark Van Doren
"A hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in
the bank...but the world may be a better place because I made a difference in the life of a child.”
~ Forest Witcraft
