"Pity the man who inherits a million and isn't a millionaire. Here's what would be pitiful, if your income grew and you didn't." Jim Rohn
The very thought that comes to mind after reflecting on this quote is my goal of completing the graduate program in Language and Literacy. My purposes at first was to add "letters" at the end of my name which meant a boost in my pay lane. As I grew in the program, learning more and adding to my instructional bank, I feel that the education growth is more relevant than the "letters" after my name. Pertaining to the quote, it should not matter how much your income level and what matters is how much of good of a person you are. A rich person would be someone with true friends and good and sincere relations with others while a poor person would be someone who lacks relationships with others.
Today's session was good. Andrew is continously improving. We worked on retelling both orally as well as in written response. Andrew was able to recall more facts orally rather than written. We worked on the same informational text that was given last semester. There was an improvement between the previous scores and the recent assessment.

I loved your entire post, especially the explanation of your quote because it is so true and you are so right. I have always tried to live my life in this manner. I don't care, what you do, how much you make, what you look like...if you are fun, honest and sincere you are my friend my for life!
ReplyDeleteExactly!!! I've always believed that it is not the materials around you that make you who you are, but the person everyone knows you to be without all of that. Great job with your boy!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Kate and Sheila! What good is money if you are not wealthy with good manners, intelligence and hard work.
