The title of today's blog is just one of the quotes I put on the board last week. I put one up everyday for them to think about, and use for a class discussion. I've found that using quotes is a great tool to encourage them to always do their best. Part of my job is to inspire children to always look to the future and the importance of education. I got a good laugh on Friday, when I was talking about how they are all going to go to college, and one girl said, "My mom said college is just for hippies!" I was quick to point out that college is indeed for everyone, and that part of the great experience of going to college is meeting people from all walks of life. Sure has been a long time since I heard anyone called a "hippie"!
Here's a sampling of our Quote of the Day:
"The only real failure in life is never to have tried."
"Surround yourself with people who believe, you can!"
"Hard work and perserverance bring reward."
And one of my favorites, "Try to be a ray of sunshine in someone's cloudy day!"
