"It is
the duty of every cultured man or woman to read
sympathetically the scriptures of the world. If we are
to respect others' religions as we would have them
respect our own, a friendly study of the world's
religions is a sacred duty."
-Ghandi-

The Alchemist is a wonderful fable about a shepherd boy,
Santiago, who leaves Spain and travels to Egypt in search of wisdom from
the Alchemist and treasures in the pyramids. What he learns along
the way will inspire all students to think about what their dreams are
and how they might achieve them.
“There is only one thing that makes a
dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
