Magical Quotes from the Episode:

“If you have negative thoughts, you're most likely not going to do as well on the exam. The negative thoughts can hurt you, and the positive thoughts can only help.”

• "Positive affirmations can help with trying to make sure you're putting positive spins on things. It's about making sure that their attitude going into a test is one of confidence and empowerment instead of stress and negative thoughts."

• "I had a group of students... some of them started writing words like 'love' and 'confidence' on their water bottles... They wanted to embody that if I believe it, it's going to happen."
