Hi All,

My Quote

Anonymous"Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate."


*I Like this quote because, there has been someone that I have followed throughout life that has been an inspiration to me. I have mimicked her and she is the reason for some of my successes.

My Favorite Book
' Curious George goes to the Hospital' by Margaret and H.A Rey

Every since I was a child I have always been a fan of the Curious George book series, therefore I make it a point to pass these moral based stories onto my child. I chose this particular story because, as we all know children are curious about any, and everything. Therefore, I used it as a way to get my child to understand that even though some things are pretty or seem as if it should be eaten, that is not always the case. I wanted her to know that she should not place anything into her mouth unless she is specifically told to do so by an adult. Even though George survived his ordeal, things could have been worse. I think she understands the moral of the story, ' never place anything into your mouth, unless told to do so'. (By an adult, that is.)

A Story of a Child

She was a child born to a single mom, she was unwanted before birth and after. Although she was never told that she was unwanted until many years later, she always knew it. Therefore she  felt inadequate, and unimportant. Therefore she shut herself off from everyone, because of this everyone thought she was mean so she was treated as an outcast. She spent a lot of her time alone either watching sports on television or playing alone out of doors. So she was very athletic and could play every sports imaginable. Then came that special person, a 7th grade gym teacher. She happened to be in gym class playing volleyball at the time, and her teacher noticed that she played well, so well that she talked to the schools basketball coach. She asked him to come to watch her play volleyball one day and he did. He also liked the way she played and  knew that with her athleticism she could possibly play basketball. So her teacher had a talk with her, she asked her if she would be interested in playing bsketball for the schools team. Although the girl was excited, she felt that she would never make; that she was not good enough. She had been dealing with a lot of negative feelings, especially the one where she felt unwanted. But she talked to her Mom and eventually joined the team. Because of that one special teacher, she learned to express herself and finally talked to her Mom concerning the issues she had been facing. Her Mom told her that; yes she was unwanted and that although that was the case she was loved. Although it took some time and many talks she and her Mom overcame those issues. Long story short; she made the team and went on to travel throughout the nation as a superb basketball player. However due to her having zeal to follow another path, she ended her basketball career and concentrated on becoming a computer specialist, she now owns her own company called 'PCTEK2'. She now has a five year old nephew that she is teaching all of her basketball skills to. He will someday be a Lebron James type player, because he is almost there. She overcame!!!!!!!!
