“If a student is feeling whole and a student is feeling respected by their teachers, then they bring a different mindset to how they interact with their family members and their community members - and who they become.”
-Saúl I Maldonado
Is it weird that as the one non-Asian member of my family, I get SO excited about finding such pretty red envelopes for Lunar New Year? Such delight I feel right now!

Kindness matters
But kindness does not = justice
Civility counts
But civility is not the humane response to injustice
Justice is
Love is essential
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander
Love puts in work.
