What has been your experience of learning, as a child and as an adult, in and out of school? Who have been your most memorable teachers, mentors, or guides? What passions and interests have you had, and how did you pursue them? What kinds of support have you had? What kinds of challenges have you faced? What are the strengths you see in your home, your neighborhood, and your community? And what dreams do you have for the future?
