Identity: the ultimate excavation project

'Innovators, inventors, trailblazers' - these are names which bear gravitas, instil hope, and foster expectation.

They are words encouraging the expectation of a hard work ethic; names promising to satisfy that longing to contribute, to make a difference, to uncover and add something new to the world. These are the occupations of those who have risen, made progress, attempted and achieved the miraculous. These are the descriptions of those often perceived as the greatest and best.

These are also the names of my children's new classes this school year. What high, inspirational and good hopes for our growing children!
