“AR was the single best year of my life.
Why? Because more than any other single year, it was filled with the most personal growth. In
this day and age of teaching self-esteem, FMA students will earn theirs. When self-esteem is
taught, it is a veneer that can be easily chipped away, but when you earn your self-esteem it
becomes ingrained in you, and cannot be taken away. You earn self-esteem through hard work;
careful thought; learning to lead and to follow; and confronting, solving, and thus surmounting problems.”
