"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to mike life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalted, a person humanized or de-humanized."

It's part of a quote from Goethe that Mrs. Strimple gave everyone in her 8th grade history class. I definitely didn't understand what it meant then but I realized earlier this summer that if there is anything that I learned this year...it can all be summed up by this quote.
