Together, We Excel

Success isn’t just about grades—it’s about kindness, teamwork, and lifting each other up.

At Emerald, we believe in growing not just as students, but as people. We share our stories of how empathy and connection helped us reach higher, go further, and achieve more—together.

Ambassadors Wanted

The Cracked Pot

A water-bearer carried two pots—one perfect, the other cracked. Each day, the cracked pot lost half its water on the walk home from the river. Ashamed, it apologized for not doing its job well.

The water-bearer smiled and said,

“Did you notice the flowers on your side of the path? I planted seeds there, and you watered them every day. Thanks to you, I have beautiful flowers for my master’s table.”

Moral:

Our flaws can still create beauty. Sometimes, what we see as a weakness is really a hidden strength.

Inclusion means believing that every student brings something valuable to the table.
