Great Quote

Well, everybody is done with LEAP...well... at least until September. Will anybody check out my blog during vacation? Maybe... Here's a great quote for everybody. It's from Maya Angelou, a black American poet and writer. She is a fantastic person. I love her work.

She said, and I may be paraphrasing a little here: "I have learned that people will forget what you said; they will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel."

It makes all of us think about how we act towards others. Perhaps teachers should have to study this quote and write a paper about it! It's so important that we think about how we act and how we make others feel. So that's all I have to say for now. If anybody reads my blog and leaves comments I will be very happy!
