Guidance & Counselling
‘Every second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that never was before and will never be again. And what do we teach our children at school? We teach them that two and two make four and that Paris is the capital of France. We should say to each of them “Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In the millions of years that have passed, there has never been another child like you”’
