MP3…
Alan Watts – philosopher, early 20th century

13. Science & Miss K Cares, passions, motives, drive
Swirling around are the questions why.
This curiosity fuels my life, a bred science-lover
Where the name of the game is to do better, reach higher, to new things discover
To me, not only to describe what we see,
But what we feel, how we connect, how we strive to be
Because to me, science is part of who I am
A reason why I’ve moved across the land
And in my opinion, it’s time that together we band
Because these problems we face are far too grand
These injustices I’ve learned are shocking, I won’t stand
For a nation for freedom who denies a fellow man
With science we learn about each other,
What we need, what we love, what we all come to desire
And not just for us people, because all life is truly sacred
But to support those without voices, without names, whose lives are taken for granted
My voice is a beacon
For this mission flag I wave,
Is too important, too vital to fall to a grave.
Science and math are literally everywhere
But to a higher calling, I challenge, the answer is out there.  

14. CLASS VISION!
As scientists, we are powerful enough to realize our impact on the environment, our place in history, and our community’s needs. We use our curiosity, creativity, and scientific tools to map, lead, make connections, and better express (verbally, visually, and in writing) phenomena and the state of the world around us to better understand, respect, and impact it positively in the long-term.

15. Mantra Today is a great day for science because: science is power.
You are powerful because:
I always make a difference.
