Personal Childhood Web (Sisters)
Personal Childhood Web (Dad)
Rolanda's Personal Childhood Web (Mom)
- My mother influenced me to be a hard worker, great cook, and always help others when they are in need
- She was very strict and made sure we did well in school, kept a clean house, and stressed the importance of good hygiene
- She was very nurturing always involved in everything we did. I participated in a lot of pageants, clubs,and church. She always encouraged me and she still does, to be the best I can be in whatever I do.
- As a mother of three I encourage my sons to be the best they can be and instill good values and morals into them. I want them to grow up to be hardworking men and be able to cook, clean and accomplish any goal that they set.

Favorite Quotes
"Children are the world's most
valuable resource and its best hope for the future."
Author: John F. Kennedy
Childhood is the
most beautiful of all life's seasons. ~Author Unknown
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!”
― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
These are great quotes because children are valuable resources and as educators we aim to instill great values and morals and enhance their knowledge academically so that they will go out and be the best they can be in the future. Childhood to me is innocence and children don't have all the worries as adults so i agree with this quote its the most beautiful of all seasons.
Dr.Seuss has written several great books and this quote reminds me of all that I was taught by my teachers and upon graduation it was my time to go out in the world an be the best and we want the same for the children we teach.
