For me, as well as Renatta Cooper, "It's about whats best for the child.......the Early Childhood Experience opens up the world for you."  In my current position I have learned also about supporting families and agree with Leticia Lara as she "realized families needed support.......with resources and access to resources.  I feel lead similarly to Leticia to change practice and policy.  I could also relate to Raymond Hernandea when he saw the importance in showing a "committment to services I want to give them opportunities, open doors, create opportunities for parents and their children....helping them learn about the resources for their children."  He went into administration to have a larger impact, in order to shape programs to benefit not only the children but the families as well.  This was my favorite quote from him: "I'm not here to save the world, I'm here to make a difference in the community I live in"  That is related to the quote that moved me from Louise Derman Sparks: "I had....a built-in passion that it was important to make a real contribution to the world....to fix the injustices in the world....through teaching." It is imperative that we provide the tools for the entire family as it has been her passion to "make sure that all children were taught in environments and ways that trully nurtured their ability to grow and develop to their fullest ability."
