As a previous student to Michael DePung (2009–10?) it is a joy to stumble upon his medium page. DePung has an ability to educate by osmosis. By merely spending time in his classroom we students all walked away as greater human beings.

Our egos do have positive purpose, for without desire to stand up for ourselves we would lack a key ingredient in creating positive change for others.

With every frustration we conquer, we not only solve a problem, but we build upon our ability to solve further problems. We create a confidence within ourselves to not only eliminate self-doubt, but to take action to truly be our Selves.
