The Hero's Journey
As humans, we crave a life that means something to the world.
This beckons us to The Hero's Journey.
Learners at Acton are Heroes -
They take responsibility for choices, get back up after falling down, and refuse to quit, even when it's hard.
They know why they are being challenged to learn, to master, to apologize, to forgive, to discuss.
They are doing so because it's part of their Hero's Journey - to find the greatest treasures, their inner gifts,
and hone them in order to solve a burning need in their community, city, or world.
