My happiest hours are spent in school, surrounded by those I hope to benefit.

I am contracting continually a debt of gratitude which time will never see canceled. There is a treasury from which it will be repaid, but I do not dispense its stores.

Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for.

What gives me hope? Knowing that with God all things are possible.
