That is one of my favourite lines in any movie.

Daniel Mitchell commented on Nicholas Taylor's blog post 'An opportunity bigger than Harry Potter'"This is awesome!!!
I love how there are so many ways for people to develop their leadership skills while engaging in volunteering experiences which benefit society (or mother nature) in general!
Good luck with this, Nick!!"

Daniel Mitchell commented on Daniel Mitchell's blog post 'Be the Difference - Teach in low socioeconomic schools!'"Hi Charmel,
