Learnto Live ... The part that we will play in the world of tomorrow is being created when we decide what direction we will take after high school.

In the course of time, even types of organisms change. Continuity of life, then, is a reflection of reproduction and evolution.” -— Biological Science: An Inquiry Into Life
