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.

Quotes by Lyndon Johnson

Quotes by Lyndon Johnson

January 8, 1964, State of the Union Address:

"We are trying to build a great society that will make your children and your grandchildren and the people three or four generations from today proud of what we are doing."

November 23, 1963, First Address to Congress as President:

"We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. We have talked for a hundred years or more. It is time now to write the next chapter – and to write in the books of law."

President Lyndon Johnson showed great passion as many do in what he believed in. I enjoyed reading some of his quotes because they seem to match up with the truth of what we need to move our country forward.
