| (One of my favorite inspirational quotes
that has always reminded me about the importance of being a teacher.) "What do we teach our children in school? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we teach them what they are? We should say to each of them , 'Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all of the world there is no child exactly like you. In the millions of years that have passed, there has never been a child like you. And look at your body - what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning fingers, the way you move! You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. You are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you harm another, we like you, a marvel? You must cherish one another. You must work, we all must work - to make the world worthy of its children." Pablo Cassals
