2009 Honor's Assembly

Today was the Annual Starting Point Montessori Honor's Assembly. The Starting Point Kids and the Starting Point Parents have worked hard the entire school year and today, they were rewarded and recognized for all their effort.

As we honor the hard work of the students and the parents at Starting Point Montessori, let's reflect on the words of poet and writer Marianne Williamson made famous when they were recited in the movie "Akeeleh and the Bee" --

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
