Everyone has a dream. Some dream of riches and fame. Some dream of athletic greatness. Others dream of world peace. No matter what the dream, no matter how far fetched, everyone has a dream. It may be coincidence, but the unveiling of the King Memorial coincided with the opening of the school year. Schools are places where dreams are cultivated.
Schools, at their best, are able to develop the dreams of their students. They give the students an opportunity to expand their horizons. Schools enable students to expand their horizons beyond what is known and gives them to tools to help them reach those lofty goals.
At this time of year when school children are returning to school and teachers and administrators are preparing to educate young minds, it is important to think of algebra and science, but it is equally important to foster those dreams. "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." Langston Hughes
The goal for the 2011-2012 school year is to help someone else fly and help them find their dream.
