One day I was coloring with my niece and she said to me "oh auntie, your picture is so pretty. You did a good job coloring in the lines...but why? Do you have to color in the lines?" After my 4-year-old niece's brilliant discovery to thinking outside the box and not following society norms, I ask you, do we have to color in the lines? Do we have to teach inside the line (box)? I hope my teaching will reflect my niece's abstract thinking of coloring outside the lines. Every choice you make defines who you are and who you want to become...
