Our learners have a variety of talents and interests - this learner happens to love poetry, and wrote a poem to capture the mission of CPDLF. Check out Harper Sedlock's (8th grade) poem, "Growing Minds"!
Fixed minds will simply choose
To feel they will only lose.
Fixed minds will strictly refuse
To give a chance to other views.
Fixed minds won't persevere,
Won't listen when they hear
That success can only come
From pushing past the fear.
But, growing minds invite the challenge
And answer it with pride,
Knowing that winners are only those
Who never gave up, but who tried.
But, growing minds invite the challenge,
And answer it with pride,
Knowing that winners are only those
Who never gave up, but who tried.
