Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)
What inspires and excites me most about advocacy is seeing something getting done and being a part of it. There is nothing greater than seeing a problem, solving it and seeing the positive affects of the outcome.
One challenge that I have faced is being able to find like minded people or at least people that don't mind doing something different even if it is different.
One thing that I hope helps me is to keep doing it so I can become better and not take the no's so personal.
one way to over come is not to take it personally and know that it's not about me but about the children and their not saying no to me but there saying no to the children who I represent.
One way to encourage others is to always see a positive in a negative situation. I know it can't always happen but pick and chose the things that you report back to others because they may see it as defeat when it's just the delayed and not denied.
