A sweet note.

For the most recent project my students completed, they had to participate in a series of creative challenges. Creative challenge #4 was to journal about what inspires you, and here's what one student wrote. Tear.
This particular student inspires me deeply. In his presentation at the end of first semester, he voiced that no matter what he was going to be when he grew up, he knew that he wanted to be a peace activist.

This is enough validation to last a whole career.
