Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone is most definitely a teacher and a student as we all have things to learn and teach. People often think that teaching/learning only takes place within a classroom, however, learning takes place anytime and anywhere. It's important to reflect at the end of the day on what you learned; in other words, 'what do you know now that you didn't before?' This type of reflection and thought process is what helps us grow.
