  1. Amy,

    I like the quote by Marian Wright-Edlman that says "You were born God's original. Try not to become someone's copy." The reason I like this quote because we as people make up this world and they way we made it up is by us being ourselves. Everyone has a special characteristic and this is what the world is made of.

  2. Amy,
    I also like the Marian Wright-Edelman quote, but since Ebony commented on it. I will pick another one. I will pick one of the quotes by Janet Gonzalez-Mena.

    "The moment I decided to follow instead of lead, I discovered the joys of becoming a part of a small child's world.
    -Janet Gonzalez-Mena, Family-Centered Early Care Education

    It is interesting, because most people think it is best to always be the leader. It is something to think about, because as being a follower you will be able to know what is most needed in a situation.

  3. I completely agree with Janet Gonzalez

    This made me a little teary eyed due to what is going on in my life. I wish everyday was sunshiny happiness but the reality is that it can not be that way.
