This article by John Cloud shows that genius is both something youre born with and something you can learn, some people just are stronger in certain subjects that others but, others can can still study those spots that they aren't as strong in and become more in tune of whats going on. I believe I'll be able to apply some of this to my page by studying certain things I'm not too sure about.

I agree 100% with Ken Robinson. I think that Education doesn't have to do with being in differetnt countries but having a clear idea of what education means to someone. Even though Education is in Governments' hands, teachers are the governments in the classroom that's why I think Education has a solution but it depends only on us, teachers and students.
Being a genius does not mean having high ACT or SAT scores, having an IQ of 200, or even being smart. Being creative is the best way to become a genius. Creative geniuses are geniuses because they know "how" to think, instead of "what" to think. Many geniuses share multiple strategies such as making their thoughts visible, force relationships, think in opposite, think metaphorically, and prepare themselves for chance. I'm encouraged to try some of these strategies used by the more intelligently inclined to see how well they actually work. Strategies such as using graphs or charts to "make your thoughts visible" or to "force a relationship" by relating dissimilar objects.
Failure is normally thought of as something bad or unacceptable, but genius hour has proven that it is acceptable and it encourages students to take risks. Failure is much like mistakes, and what do you do from mistakes? You learn from them. Being able to go out and learn about things that you're interested about instead of what your teacher assigns you gives the students that motivation to explore big and learn in their own way. One hour a week where failure isn't just an option, but a learning experience as well.
My plans are to find new and unique conditioning drills and courses to set up for the soccer team and the following teams to come. My intentions are that hopefully being a captain on the team bringing this type of intensity will encourage them to keep that intensity up and strengthen the team as a whole. These drills will consist of individual and team exercises that will not only work on one persons confidence in themselves, but the confidence in their teammates around them.
