Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”

our lightning strikes when the earth rises,
spillways free authentic power:

But gallanter I know,
Who charge within the bosom
The Cavalry of Woe.”
