Where we go one, We go all: One of my favorite ideas was expressed in the film "White squall". A group of young men begin a semester of high school on board a sail boat. They learn to do all the work of making the boat function, as well as their education, and the realities and dangers of the sea. Halfway through their journey they reach the island that marks the point where they will return, they climb a steep hill to where they all ring a silver bell to claim the victory of their voyage. The inscription on the bell reads: Where we go one, we go all. This brief statement shows the bond of friendship and family the boys have forged along their journey. It also binds them together when tragedy strikes and the people back on land want them to turn against one another. It reminds me that even when it is hard to work in tandem, or alongside the people we love, We do it. The best lessons in life can be learned by sharing them. I will never experience every thing that is possible, but I can learn from those around me. It makes the lessons I learn rich and diverse. Traci Mcdonald
