Bill Clinton:
"If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, now how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit." (Clinton, B. 2006)
"People are more impressed by the power of our example than the example of our power." (Clinton, B. 2008)
Janet Gonzalez-Mena:
"Part of being who you are has to do with feelingns, which means you have a wide range of emotions- not just constant sunshiny happiness." (Gonzalez-Mena, J. 2008)
"For the individualist the goal of child rearing individuation. For the collectivist the goal is integration-become part of rather than seperate from." (Gonzalez-Mena, J. 2005)

Personal Childhood Web
The five people that nurtured and cared about me when I was a child were: my mother, 2 aunts, home economics teacher, and fifth grade teacher.
My mother was and has always been there for me through thick and thin. She is a good nurturer and very caring. She always put her children first, even before herself. She rasied all of her children to have good values, love God, and to never settle for less.
My two aunts were there for me when my mom was either at work or other engagements. Neither one of them had children, so my siblings and I have always been treated as their children. On the weekends I would always talk my mom into allowing me to spend the night over one or the other aunts house. They always remembered us on Christmas and our birthdays.
My home economics teacher treated everybody in the class the same. She was a caring person and went out of her way to cheer me up if I came to class sad. During a special school ceremony, my mother couldn't afford to buy me a dress, so my teacher took me down to one of the local stores and purchased one for me. I always thought of her as a God Sent.
Mr. Agresta was my fifth grade teacher, whom I enjoyed going to his class each day. He taught me how to make a camera out of a oatmeal box, in which we then took actual pictures. When I got to highschool, he remembered me and was able to get me a job in his office.
The only person who still influences me to this day, is my mother. My mother has and always is there for me. She encourages me to; try until I succeed, be patient, honest, and stay focused on God, and all things will work out for me. I love my mother and will literally do anything in the world for her. She is my motivation to strive to do better. As much as she's capable of doing; she has always tried to provide me with a better life than she experienced.
My two aunts are both deceesed and I no longer have contact with them.

Children's Book
Author: Ian Falconer
This book can be enjoyed by children between the ages of three and five years old. At this age, children are normally excited about the coming of christmas, as was Olivia. Olivia wanted to help decorate the house and the christmas tree to produce some christmas spirit internally.The literature and illustrations can both be used to tell the story, if thee other were not available.
I can relate to this book, because I love the christmas season. It seems that society as a whole takes part in awaiting such a wonderful holiday; by the christmas tunes that grace the radio, the decorations and gifts in the stores, christmas trees and other decorations in the neighbors house and on the front lawn, as well as sending holiday greetings to family, friends, and loved ones.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.- Chinese Proverb
I selected this quote because it has a lot of meaning to it. No matter how many lessons, resources, or tools that we provide children with, it is up to the child to apply what they have learned.
