I was blown away by two statements made by middle school students I teach. The first made me wonder about the way independent thought is formed and the other is just an impressive thought I want to share.

  • “Footsteps and echoes of the environment demand to be heard through something.  That something is music.”
  • “Chapstick is just deodorant for your lips!”

I love both of these statements.
