"I'm not here to save the world, I'm here to make a difference in my community" - Raymond Hernandez, Executive Director at School of Early Childhood Education in UNiversity of Southern California
I chose the same quote for my blog by Raymond Hernandez and I completely agree with him. Although I know that many of us wish we could save the world, we can only even begin to try one child at a time. My first goal is the same, to do what I can do with the children who are close to me(my own and the ones at my school). I feel that if I can reach even one child each school year, then I am making a difference. I will keep trying to reach more always but for now I will settle in knowing that I have touched the lives of some. My goal as teacher has always been to make lives better and that is a goal I will continue to strive for each and every day. Thanks for the quote!

ReplyDeleteI really like this quote. But sometimes the difference that we make in our community can save somebody's "world".
