"I CAN DO ANYTHING... if I put my mind to it!"
What an empowering statement--and delightfully filled with confidence, optimism, and ambition as it flows from the mouth of a pre-schooler! This is the phrase the young Imagine Tomorrow students hear and repeat during computer classes and exclaim on their own when they are outside of class.
While solving missions on Imagine Tomorrow software, each child continually receives feedback: "Good job!", "You did it!", "Great work!", "Wow!", "You solved it!"... And at the end of a class, the many proud smiles reflect those feelings of success.
Imagine what they will accomplish throughout their lives if they continue to believe "I CAN do ANYTHING if I put my mind to it!"

I will never forget this girl I taught. Her mom was going through breast cancer treatments and it was even difficult for her to get to class most weeks. But one day, her mom came in at the end of class and said the other night, when I was giving Madison a bath, she looked up at me and said, "Mom, you know, you can do anything if you put your mind to it!" I was so touched that our saying in class would have that much an impact on other situations in life. It's amazing – by having the children say and believe they can do anything; they too can spread that message.
