"We are all here to learn with our peers. Let us celebrate our similarities and our differences.
Let us respect other cultures, religions, and languages. At our beginning, many were given
little chance but to due to the people in our lives, we find ourselves in a wonderful place
with wonderful people. Let us flourish in our learning, find joy in our experiences and
remember our friends and knowledge we gained at Space Camp." -- Dan Oates
