Just Like The Busy Kids With Full Schedules

TONS Of Extracurricular Activities

It's exciting to be busy.
To have so many new and exciting things to look forward to.
A human life is a fairly short thing compared to the vast horizons of potential we can imagine.
Our corporeal existence seems far too brief to begin to experience it all.
Naturally, we all have an insatiable curiosity to seek out things we have not seen before.
That is the purpose of a human existence : to experience as much as possible with the time we have.

Those Bright-Eyed, Bushy Tailed Kids

You know who I'm talking about.
The kids at school who have TONS of energy.
They're excelling in academics and in extracurricular activities.
They go on field trips with after-school clubs, to different cities for sports tournaments, and to academic competitions in other cities.
They can play the piano and know how to make a fire.
They are a walking encyclopedia, who are extremely hot on the outside.

I suppose they could be said to be perfect.
I wouldn't call them that though.
I knew these kids in school and they were just genuinely energetic, curious people.

What was their secret?

Parents who believed in them.
That they believed in themselves.

That's it.

Everyone Should Be Encouraged and Supported To Be A Hot Encyclopedia (if they want to be)

The Velja Approach to schooling enables kids to shape themselves in whatsoever they wish to be.

I believe that human beings have an insatiable urge to grow and try new and exciting things.
To fill their days with never before had experiences.
To feel that they are becoming more than what they were everyday.

I think all kids should have the chance to be like the Busy Kids,
to be a Hot Encyclopedia.

I wanted to be.
I just needed to do it my way, not the way adults told me I had to.

Again, adults should guide and support not dictate, not bully.

Doing so will raise a generation of genuinely strong young people.

A school full of Bright-Eyed, Bushy Tailed, Busy kids...
Sounds Awesome To Me!
