"Every year, I am reminded of the kids who aren't in the freshman class and aren't graduating. I remember every single one of them. That is the worst of times for me, to see the future snuffed out"

This quote by Donna Shalala speaks with the disaster of lost capacity. Every year, she is reminded of the students who are not in the freshman class or graduating. She keeps in mind each and every one of them, and it is a hard time for her. It is a tip of the future that could have been, but has been offed. It is a reminder of the potential that has actually been lost, and the dreams that will never ever be recognized. It is a reminder of the catastrophe of lost capacity, and the unhappiness that features it. Donna Shalala's quote speaks to the value of cherishing the capacity of every student, and the need to guarantee that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
