'Space to 奮起させる has always been my motto as a teacher.

'When I was talking to my students, the thing about it was when I said space to 奮起させる, they're thinking outer space, but really it is this space, your space.'

'We all have this unique space that we carry with us everywhere we go and getting to know what it is that makes us 熱烈な and how to 株 our unique gifts with the world is so important.
