"I have faith that each child, every human
being, has a gift--a spot of grace--that they are meant to
bring to the world. They deserve to have unlimited access to
this seed in their soul. I have faith that each of us brings
a unique value to the larger whole. This is my profession.
If I give voice and energy to it, every one of the days of
my life will count for something. If not, every day will be
wasted."
