For My Fantastic Students

My lovely students, this is my closing hope and prayer for you. It´s a quote from Nelson Mandela:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be talented or gifted? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of the Most High God. Playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. As we let God's light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence begins to liberate others."
