Words of Inspiration and Motivation

The two people that inspired me in the Early Childhood Field were; William J "Bill" Clinton and Lilian Katz.
William J "Bill" Clinton
 has said many inspiring words throughout his presidency, one of them that caught my attention were "We cannot build our own future without helping others build theirs". This quote is the main reason I decided to pursue Early Childhood Ed. It’s true because we as teachers have already built our future as educators, mentors, professors, etc... Now it’s time for us to inspire the students to succeed. Bill also stated that, Success is not the measure of a man
but a triumph over those who choose to hold him back.

            responsible for the violent act. The good life for
             our own children can be secured only if a good life
             is also secured for all other people's children”.
