I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Kids are truly a seed with so much potential. Today we had our safe schools meeting. I felt like I was on the verge of tears as I pictured my students and their future. How AMAZING if they were to become Noble Peace Prize Winners! How WONDERFUL it would be to see them in leadership positions making positive changes in our society!
They are also very vulnerable. A-girl asked me today what "a reindeer testicle" was. She had apparently seen it on Fear-factor and it became a new word for her. Although I informed her of her lack of lady-like manners, I am sure she still found it novel to repeat the words out loud.
I hope I can truly play that part in their life. To shape them. To shape their character in a positive way. I too have a dream today.
