This kid is INSANE. She is an academic genius, she was on Broadway when she was 10, and here she is doing a TED talk. Talk about well-rounded!

Broadway is hardly a definition of genius.

A STORY OF HOPE A long time ago, there was an Inuit family high up in the Arctic. It was a terrible year for hunting, and for months the weather was extremely cold. There were very few animals to hunt in the area, and so the family decided they would have to travel south in search of better hunting grounds. When they started their journey south, the walk became long and hard, and they had very little food to eat. Their grandmother was very old and slowing them down. It was a tradition in those days to leave the old folks behind in hopes that the rest of the family might survive. So they said their goodbyes and left her standing alone on the ice. Later that day, a polar bear saw her and started to hunt her down, but she was too slow to escape. As the polar bear got close to her, she took off her big fur mitt and put it on the end of her narwhal walking stick. She then stood there very still and quiet, making no sound or movement. As the polar bear got within feet of her, it opened its mouth to bite her, and at that very moment, she shoved the mitten down the polar bear’s throat choking him. It wasn’t able to breathe, and it died. She walked all day and through the night and was able to catch up with her family, and she told them what had happened. They went back to the polar bear, and it gave them enough food to survive until the spring. So you see, there is always hope, even in the very last moments of certain death, there is always a chance things can get better. There is always hope because there is always God. ... There is a book written by Tony Tymstra titled: What is possible? What is impossible? And What is probable? Proof that God exits. Here is a small chapter you might find interesting....the book is on amazon

He had me willing to buy it until he mentioned god. I'll have to get over my peeving before I do.
This is why working on yourself which changes the internal and thus, external is so much. Balance in the middle.
what this gotta do with project based learning

where do we send the pictures to the projects?
Build spiritual confidence and strength the easy way. Sing HU every day. The free HU app shows how.
Hope Surely means do best amid all chaos. Lot of good around us in world have been created by hopeful people only. Cynicism may sound logical at times but surely will not create any good for today's or future world.

I’ll save you this speech with the truth Hope is a delusion and the people who have it are more dangerous than terrorists Hope can drive someone insane and it has no use in life other then to enhance your pain when life inevitably throws the worst it has to offer at you Put simply according to the myth Hope was the last thing to come out of Pandora’s box Saving the worst for last imo

@@tatoriety Let me tell you a story Years ago I had probably the sweetest dog you can possibly imagine One day he started peeing in the house so we took him to the vet After spending a whole day there they decided to keep him for a couple days I was hoping he would be ok but long story short a couple days later I woke up to have my parents tell me he had died overnight Like I mentioned I was hoping he would be ok and he was just sick with something The pain I felt that day was so unbearable that I lost all hope Which was probably the most liberating feeling I had ever had
