Quotes by Janet Gonzalez-Mena

"Part of being who you are has to do with feeling your feelings, which means you'll have a wide range of emotions--not just constant sunshiny happiness"

“Only when professionals understand culturally sensitive care and are in close communication with families can they know how to work toward positive outcomes for children’s identity, sense of belonging, and cultural competence.” (Gonzalez-Mena, J., 2001)

I can relate to this quote because it is similar to what I have been saying. We have any individuals who come into the classroom to tell you how you should run your class, but until you have worked in a classroom you can not tell someone how and what they should do.
