It is difficult to concentrate on SAT this Saturday, but we must. There are many life lessons to take away from this frenzied World Cup. I do hope my students take away some of the gems. Morocco- a minnow that transformed itself into a roaring lion. Cameroon- no one tells you it is over until the fat lady sings. USA- I call it grit! Senegal- resilience and fortitude...
