It's where the energetic one has the time and space to get up and go, and the curious one finds the inspiration to embark on an epic quest.
It's where the always-singing-and-dancing one takes the stage for the first time, and the playful one powers on not only his computer but his imagination, and brings a toy to life.
The bright one, the quiet one, the wise one, the one who always sits in the back of the class, the one who sits up front, the doer, the dreamer, the thinker, the leader.
Whoever you are, whatever you love, wherever you want to go, there's a special place for you to learn and grow.
