Memorable Quote: “If you ever want to truly find joy, I always go and pretend I have an emergency in the kindergarten classroom. So that's where you can find joy. If you want to get sobered up and you want a reality check, that's Middle School, because they'll tell you, like what it is, and truly, if you want hope for the future, right? If you want to say what you know, like our world, no matter what's going on, is in good hands, you have to visit our high school.” Iswari Natarajan.
