What Would You Say To a Child . . . ? (722 hits)


I’m always seeking more effective ways to reach and teach our youth. And, despite all my research, you are my greatest asset. Thus, I’d appreciate your opinions to the following questions:

If you could tell a seven-year-old child one thing you felt would positively impact his or her life in understanding the power of knowledge, and the importance of education, what would it be?

Now, what would you say to a seventeen-year-old to help her or him value an education and achieve greater academic success?

Thank you for sharing and caring.

Let’s continue to encourage others to do their part in uplifting the quality of life and learning for our children.

And, together, we will show the world how beautiful, smart and special they really are.

The answer to the first question would be history. When you study history you will learn how powerful knowledge and education is. To the second question I would say history. Understanding and knowing history will give you plenty examples of people who achieved many great things because of their education.

Che already hit home with her comment, so I would tell them that limitations are only a part of their imagination.
