My son Marcus is definitely a reluctant hero if there ever was one. Traditional learning, aka school, was never his thing. This post-school world of learning by doing, trying new things, getting pushed and/or encouraged into public situations has allowed him to grow, learn, and share more than any of his teachers probably envisioned (even the good ones, and there were several).

The point is (or points are, as I hope you’ve spotted a few):
Everyone needs space now and then. Everyone is worthy of a supported life to reach their potential.
Everyone is the hero of their own journey.
There maybe more in there too, but let’s go with the “rule of three” for today.
