Should

Who
are capable of doing new things,
Not

Generations
have done.”

justice is blind to color.
Until
education is unaware of race,
Until
opportunity is unconcerned
With the color of men’s skin,
Emancipation
will be a proclamation but not a fact.”

a unique opportunity we have
In
working with children,
We
as professionals in the Early Childhood field
Have
the opportunity to
Shape
a child’s life for the better.”

I love all these quotes, but the last one by Sandy Escobido pulls at my heartstrings. We absolutely have a unique opportunity to shape a child's life - and we need to uphold and uplift each other in doing so. Simple reminders such as this one helps me to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk as well. Thanks for these encouraging word!

Amen to Sandy Escobido!! That is so true and I see this every single day! I always have in my heart, if I reach one child in a positive manner then I am doing exactly what I am meant to do!! We, as educators and care givers, change the world one child at a time!! These kiddos are the reason I go to work everyday---and LOVE what I do!!!
