First Semester Final 1/27 - 1/30 - 2014

In one of his notebooks Leonardo da Vinci wrote, "Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind." That distaste for inaction drove da Vinci's intellectual curiosity his entire life. His love for learning never stopped. I hope you have learned to love learning and love the feeling of accomplishment for a job well done.
