    Words of Inspiration and Motivation

    Here are some Quotes that I have read from my Two weeks assignment and Fourth on childhood education.

    Part of being who you are has to do with feeling your feelings, which means you'll have a wide range of emotions--not just constant sunshiny happiness.”
    Janet Gonzalez-Mena, Child, Family, and Community: Family-Centered Early Care Education

    We hear the laughter of children dressed for a festival dance, the coos and gurgles of infants in their mothers’ arms, and squeals of delight as children skip rocks in a stream.
    Dr. Sylvia C. Chard www.amazon.com/My-Side-Being-Child/dp/0876590741

    Quotes
    Passion and Motivation for Early Childhood

    My passion that all children were taught environment in ways nutrient their ability to grow to the fullness.

    Seeing the parents advocate learning how to speak up for the children. Learning how to write letters and tell their story.

    Personal Childhood Web

    I am dedicated this page to the people who nurtured me, cared for me and love me when I was a child. My childhood was not that fantastic as a child and I needed these people to show me that was in their heart how they felt about me.

    Treadis Tyler was my father who raise me, love me, took time out with me out of his busy schedule as a pastor. He helped me with my homework when I needed help, he played games with me, took me out to dinner for my birthday. My father was always there when I needed him no matter what is was he never was negative towards me. I loved him so much because he influence me to love people regardless how they treat me. He cared for children and adults he would help anyone and I believe I inherit that genes from him.  Education was the important conversation that my father and I had he always said to get all the education you can to make it in this world you can be want you want to be once you put your mind to it. I am glad that I listen and follow instruction from my father to go back to school to fulfill my goals. I have fulfill one goals with a B.S. degree now I am working on my Master degree to keep his dream alive of opening up a school that will help children and parents.

    Helen Jones was a secretary at my elementary school she kept me in check when I got in trouble. She treated me like a little sister I work in the office sometimes with her. Helen nurtured me too she always invited me to her house and go on picnicks with her. She always show me she cared she will brings me presents for Christmas,birthday or just around the year. She had a sweet spirit all the time she would communicate with me until I got in trouble then she would not talk to me until I promise I would not get in trouble anymore.  Helen influence me by the way she communicated with people and how she was a given and helpful person. Helen and I still keep in touch she still does me the same way she always encourage me when time got rough. She has been there for me in my adult life and I appreciate her for being my friend.

    Joerene Brown is my Godmother I call her mom she shown me so much love and support when I needed it she welcome me to her home many of time. She shown me how to love I was a person that was not taught by my mother to tell people that you love them. My godmother made me tell her every night and had to give her a hug. Joerene taught me how to clean, cook, shop and take care of myself. She encourage me all of the time,and nurtured me like a mother would do her child. We spend time together, went out of town together.  My godmother always have help people all over the united states and I could not understand why was she helping a lot of people. She influence me to love people and to love my son when he came into this world. She had one child I had one child, she does so much with her daughter and I have almost did the same with my son. Now that I am older her love has change to a greater love and concern it is not a month goes by without we seeing each other or doing something together I love her because she treated me like a daughter and would chastise me now if I needy to. I appreciated what she has done in my life to know that she has love me until now.

    Michelle Brown is my god sister we have had good relationship as sisters we have had so much fun together. Michelle and I have spent so many times together down threw the years. We had so much fun in her home watching TV and talking with friends that we knew together. Michelle is a caring person who knew when something was wrong with me she would stop what she was doing and sit down and talk to me. There were times I  babysitted for her because I love her children and they would call me auntie. She trust me to take care of her children and take them to school and pick them up. We have took trips together told each other secrets and promise to keep. Michelle has shown me to keep pushing no matter how hard it gets do not stop until you are happy with yourself cannot please everyone but you can please yourself.

    Charles Ackles was my oldest brother who was hard on me because I was a hard headed child who just did not want to do what was right. He would talk to me until over and over again about my behavior. He would sit down and help me with my math homework all the way up to high school. He would take me to parks over his friends house to show me off to his friends because he said I was a cute girl. He would buy me birthday gifts and Christmas gifts. He would tell me to be good and do not be a smart mouth. I have watch my brother go to school and finish his degrees education was very important to him to get him where he wanted to be in life. I have almost made the same step to get my degree in college to get me where I want to be in this world.

    Children's Book

    Little Miss Muffet was one of my favorite book because I like how she listen to her grandfather tell her stories over and over again.  Miss Muffet who real name was Elizabeth did not stop her grandfather or tell him she had heard the stories before. I read the story over and over again and realize that the spider was trying to be friends with Miss Muffet but she was afraid but the spider gave her a hard time because she could not find a good friend.  This does happen in real life we try to find that person wo would be a good friend that would be there through your ups and down, who would tell you when your are right or wrong rather you like it or not but you still would be friends afterward that is what I call real friend.

    Are Children Understood?

    There are many children who are misunderstood from family and friends. Sometimes there is no communication or interaction with the child. The child might feel that he/she is no one important.  How can the child or children be help? Is there enough people in the world that have passion for children to see the help of the children in our communities?
