Sometimes the paths we take are long and hard, but remember those are often the ones that lead to the most beautiful views. Have the courage to make that journey.

We save paradise by an intense education program where you get people that you can trust to talk sanely about the environment and hope that the message will get through.
BRODERICK, ELIZABETH

BRODERICK, ELIZABETH
Throughout high school, I wish I had known the importance of noticing others and allowing their experiences to enrich my own life. Other people’s stories and experiences will inspire you to learn, to change and to evolve.

BUTTROSE, ITA – on competitiveness
I played to win. When I was a child, my brothers and I played cowboys and Indians in the park, and I was always an Indian who got captured. That was a learning experience; they were showing me that as a woman I was going to be captured. But in a metaphorical sense, I think I did eventually become a cowboy.
