• Beethoven's music teacher once told him that as a composer, he was hopeless.

Never underestimate the gifts God has given you. You may learn quickly or it may take time for your gifts and talents to develop. The best way to approach life (and school) is with a positive attitude and a curious mind, always looking for new things to learn and connections to make in this amazing and marvelous world that God created.
