Quotes


Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.

Lyndon B. Johnson

 Eunice Kennedy Shriver

"These Games are "special" in more ways than one.  They are special for the competition and training they provide and also for what they say about the ability of all human beings to overcome the greatest obstacles and rise like the triumphant Phoenix."

Five people

Loretta Williams- She is my mother and she was always there for me when I needed her. Today she is still there for me when I need her. If there is anything that I need she is there to give it to me. If I need help she is there to help me. When I am down she is always there to lift me up. My mother always told me to love my brothers and sisters because they are going to always be there for me when no one else is there.

Albert Williams- He is my father. My father is always there to give me encouraging words. He may fuss and argue about a lot of things but his words are always true. He always has told me birds of a father flock together and if you hang with trash it will get in your eyes. My father has always told me to choose my friends wisely. My father encouraging words has taught me to keep my friends close and my enemies closer.

Mary Johnson- She is my grandmother. She stays right across the road from me and if I need anything she is always there to give it to me. My granny always told me that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Today I see now what she meant when she said that. She was the main person who disciplines me and she always told me that when I get older I will thank her.

Glenda Butler- She is my aunt. She is always there to remind me of forgetful things. She takes me places if I don’t have a ride and she always pick me up when I need her to. She took me shopping when I was younger and now whenever she go places she bring my children something back. She makes sure my family and I am well taking care of.

Earl Stewart- He is the father of my best friend. He is like another father figure to me. He always use to take us places and buy us things. And today he still keep up with me and check on me to make sure everything is okay with my family and I. He is a pastor and he married my husband and I. I couldn’t have asked for anything else.

Quote about children

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher

Children Book

A children book that I love is the very hungry caterpillar. I love this book because it have a lot of pictures that children love seeing and it teaches children numbers.

Early childhood is a career I chose because of the love and passion I have for young children. Everyday I make a child happy just by nurturing and caring for them. Today after church I got with a group of children just to show them attention and love and it made them very happy.
