I am grateful that more of you out there have now read this story. Eugene continues to be an inspirataion to me and makes me keep being committed to giving young people the skills and dispositions they really need to be successful in life - the ones that prepare them for the tests of life instead of what young people feel today - that school for them is a "life of tests". May we continue to have the courage to widen our vision of education that young people like Eugene are taught skills in social and emotional learning as a regular part of the curriculum.
