I have hopes of changing
the world one child at a time. If I can
change more than one child at a time as an administrator and a person that
trains early childhood teachers, then I will.
There is a song by Sanctus Real called "Confidence", I have shared some of
the words below that keep me going because this work of quality early childhood
education is tough and you can be discouraging at times.
I’m not a warrior
I’m too afraid to lose
I feel unqualified for what you’re calling me to
But Lord with your strength
I’ve got no excuse
'Cause broken people are exactly who you use
I’m too afraid to lose
I feel unqualified for what you’re calling me to
But Lord with your strength
I’ve got no excuse
'Cause broken people are exactly who you use
So give me faith like Daniel in the lion’s den
Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence
Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence
I pray each day for
God to give me the strength, hope, heart, and most of all faith that this work
is possible. My goal is to keep making
changes wherever I go and whenever I can.
With a new focus to work on equity verses, working on equality. The image below is one reason separate but
equal did not work.
Thanks
to all my colleagues and professor for making this journey of study in
diversity, equity, and social justice a trusting and no judgement zone. It has been supportive, eye opening and
meaningful.
