"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."
- Michelangelo
Conversations with Ken (4 years old):
(after learning about carpenters)
Ken: Teacher John, when I grow up I want to be a carpenter.
TJ: Why?
Ken: So I can build a Taipei 101.
(after learning about firefighters)
Ken: Teacher John, when I grow up I want to be a firefighter.
TJ: Why?
Ken: So I can put out a big fire.
(after learning about healthy food)
TJ: Ken, when you grow up do you want to be a carpenter or a firefighter?
Ken (after a moment of serious contemplation): I just... I just want to be a strong boy.
