Rey: Competition is a value that we have. We all think it's good, but how do we not let it become the thing that defines us? I am not prent who let my children win just to let em win. And so i love competition like no other. But you know, first, eare going back to montessori. That was another thing about montessoris it emphasized competing within yourself first. If you could really say you gave it all that you had and left nothing out, then you succeeded.
