Our students continue to press forward, growing in their understanding of the world around them and in the self-belief and discipline necessary to achieve the learning objectives of this course. The ability to block out all distractions and focus on the task at hand is not easily achieved, but I sincerely believe that our students are making positive strides toward that destination. I will continue to bid them onward in their quest to reach the shores of self-actualization.
