Leaman asked for student volunteers to taste different components of salsa. The students\u2019 hilarious reactions to the separate salsa ingredients highlighted an essential lesson: while ingredients alone (salt! cumin! tomato! pepper!) aren\u2019t so exciting, they can create something delicious and unique together.<\/p>\n<p>Leaman\u2019s main message to the students was to be courageous and work towards discovering their identity this year as God\u2019s image created in them. He urged them to embrace their uniqueness and bring their diversity to EMS daily, as the school needs their varied perspectives to be the fullest picture of what God has called us to be. Leaman concluded by reminding students that they are at the right age to fail, test themselves, and start again and that EMS teachers, coaches, staff, and other students are here to support them through every step of their journey.<\/p>\n<p>En <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/0AmME3wkIsk?feature=share\">first chapel<\/a> of the year at EMS reminded students that self-discovery is a lifelong process and that courage and embracing one\u2019s uniqueness are vital to creating a fulfilling life.
