As a teacher you work to instill a work ethic, encourage creativity, and recognize and develop talent in the students you teach.  Today we were fortunate to visit Solomon Muhlangu High School in the eastern Cape of Africa.  Five 10th grade students presented a PowerPoint about the success their school has experienced since 2012 and the factors that have been critical to their continued growth.The students collaborative efforts were beyond their years. I was impressed with their boldness, sense of pride in their school and in themselves.  It was so refreshing to to watch students who live in less than ideal situations become the navigator of their own destiny when given the tools to become successful, encourage their efforts and challenge them to make a difference.  Ms. Carson and the leadership of Solomon Muhlangu High School have successfully accomplished producing young men and women who will truly make a difference in their community and in the world.  It was an honor and a privilege to share their collective vision for the future.
