Former President Clinton's quote is short but so true. I think that life is a journey, as you move along in life, character develops. I believe we are constantly developing something about ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate the quote you posted by Louise Derman-Sparks. As professional educators we need to approach all children and families with an unbiased approach. Everyone should start with a blank slate and be given equal opportunities.
ReplyDeleteI really took these statements to heart. I identify with Raymond Hernandez's thoughts because they are my motivation as well . Some never know the impact our words have on others. When we promote the positives, they go much farther .
