Welcome to TRaC! Do what you can't.

Sounds wacky, doesn't it? Do what you can't. But it ain't that crazy. We've got to start somewhere.

Two ingredients necessary for this semester of TRaC and life: Curiosity and Passion. They drive us to try things we've never tried before. And hopefully, when we get to the Unknown, we're ready - we're OPEN - to whatever comes our way. It's a crazy world. Get ready for some crazy art.

Here's a mantra for those of us who love diving into what we don't know:


CELEBRATE YOUR AMATEURNESS.
I am best at what I can't do.
It has become my ability to feel strong and confident in these situations. I feel free to move, to listen to my heart, to learn, to act even if that means I will make mistakes.
If you want a creative life, do what you can't and experience the beauty of the mistakes you make.

-Daniel Pink, A Whole New Mind

Do what you can't. Do it well.
To all of High 5's newest Teen Reviewers and Critics: Welcome to TRaC.
