"I believe that we have not even begun to tap human potentialities, and that by continuing humble but persistent study of human behavior, we can learn consciously to create civilizations within which an increasing proportion of human beings will realize more of what they have it in them to be."

I wasn't ever good in school. I limited myself and let others limit me. I didn't think I'd ever have the capacity to learn what I'm learning now. The non-traditional learning atmosphere at WGI is taking those barriers down. I'm not reading and taking a test—I'm engaging in my education and living what I'm learning. There's no excuse for me not to learn!
