But, can you ever really love someone else with all your heart, before you fall in love with yourself, your life, first?For Emma Cantor, life is feeling fresh as she starts her new job in Pittsburgh PA.

We know that video games keep people engaged for hours on end, and research indicates that this is due, in good part, to player agency. That is, the ability for the person playing the game to make significant choices that have consequences to the outcome of the game. How can this idea be replicated in the classroom? While Agency feels like a new buzzword in education, it has been around since the 5th Century, BCE. What does it really mean? Why does it matter? How has it changed (and stayed the same) throughout all these centuries? Why is it important to nurture it, and how can we do that while still developing the skills necessary to achieve on high stakes tests? And to what extent is this idea more important for gifted students? This book is for any educator or parent who is hoping to understand the concept of agency as well as explore strategies to inspire and invigorate their most complex learners to become the best version of themselves.

This book is one moment and many. Captured in a flow of words, without stopping and yet dis-continuous. Forgotten the time where thoughts hindered the creative output. Remembered the times I used to live. Treasured past. Cursed moment. The freedom is now, gone, future.A work of art. A work of fiction. Something to behold, let go and transform one-self with. Use to be used. Tried to be tried. Tired to be tired and courageous to be courageous. The truth is for those who like to hear it, to indulge with it and to succumb to it.There is definitely something to learn here, if one has the patience to persist and the will to dive into the scattered mind of the author.
