Inclusion is a key part of school for children. Students are not going to feel motivated to work, grow, or develop if they do not feel like they belong. Every human being has this desire to belong somewhere. School is one of the first places students began to figure themselves out and figure out where they belong. It is important that  teachers help students embrace who they are and offer support along this journey because it is a long and scary one! Schools need to have opportunities that allow for students to feel wanted an included such as Alan B. Shepard did for those of special needs.

It was a spot light for students of special needs which allowed them to feel apart of the school.
