"I'm not here to save the world, just here to make a difference"-- Raymond Hernandez
"Early Childhood Education is a civil right issue"-- Renatta M. Cooper
"Before early childhood programs can tap these fathers' or families' potential to enhance children's development, research needs to define father and family involvement more precisely and to examine the culturally rich dimensions of children's early care and education experiences"--Aisha Ray (& Vivian Gadsden)
"...In the future any proposed economic development list should have early childhood development at the top. The return on investment from early childhood development is extraordinary, resulting in better working public schools, more educated workers and less crime."-- Art Rolnick (& Rob Grunewald)
Annie thank you so much for sharing the quote you shared from your father is very motivational and inspirational. He is right, no matter how hard things get in life, and no matter what material things are being taken from you no one and nothing in this world can take away your knowledge or memories! Thank you Mr. Paraison
ReplyDeleteHi Annie,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you put the pictures with the quotes. That added an element of realism to what was being said. I also love that you included a quote from your father. Not only does that show the respect you have for your father but it also shows what an intelligent man he was because it is so true - no one can take away your education. That is and has always been very insightful to me. I concur with Robin that nothing can take away your knowledge of memories.
It also reminded me of a very difficult time that I went through and if it wasn't for my education, I would not have anything else to fall back on. That education kept me going and led me straight to where I am today. I am a much stronger and self-confident individual and I know that I will always have that education to back me up.
Thanks for sharing! I loved these quotes!
Denise;)
The pictures added an amazing quality to your quotes because it made them seem more real it actually see who was saying those amazing quotes. Your father is a very intelligent man and he is very right that noone can take your education away from you. Your education is something that you can take with you for the rest of your life. What you do with your education is up to you and the lives that you can change are endless.

ReplyDeleteThe quote from you father reminds me of the one my parents instilled in me as a child:
"Labor for learning before you grow old,
For learning is better than silver and gold.
Silver and gold will vanish away,
But a good education will never decay."
Thank you for sharing your quotes because it brought back the memories of some of the values my parents gave us.
