“My teacher gave us a hard problem, by mixing salt and sugar together. She asked, ‘How can we find the salt, now?’ Most of the class thought the situation was impossible, but I learned about hope and that by holding onto hope, we can find a solution. I went home and I didn’t become hopeless. I kept searching for an answer, and then the solution came to my mind. If you spread out the salt and sugar, you let the ants come and eat the sugar - that is how we will find the salt. Because of what I learned at the Heroes Journey, I now know there is always a way to get out of difficult problems. We should never say we can’t!”
