The Ron Clark Story

i had to watch this movie
for my EduPsych class

the story was unbelievably inspiring!
takes hold of your heart
and makes you want to make a change

the story was very fast-paced
so much plot,within so little screen time
yet it didn't feel cramped
the flow was so good
that you didn't realize how time passed

tells of a teacher
who volunteers to teach a troubled class
and his out of the ordinary ways of teaching
a story guaranteed to tug your heart strings
make you laugh, cry and scream in frustration

its people like this
who inspire me to be a teacher

highly recommendable!! Grab a copy today!!

Dream Big! Take Risks!

Please, Daddy, No - Stuart Howarth

This book was so good that I read it in ONE sitting.

An exceptional story.
A poignant true story.

Will tug at your heart-strings,
harder than ever before.

A tragic story,
filled with the worst of its kind,
the horrid wrong-doings of mankind,
only to have a triumphant ending!

I dare you to pick up this book,
I dare you to read from cover to cover,
I dare you to finish this book.

Take note, an excerpt from the book said:

We need to educate children and teach them about inappropriate behavior in schools, as part of their sex education. It's no good telling children 'Don't talk to strangers', because most victims of abuse know the perpetrators well. Most abusers are within families or in position of trust, so the child doesn't recognize that what they are doing is wrong.

.very very true.

PS: thanks to Vanessa for lending it to me.

PSS: If ever Howarth reads this, I would say hurrah for you! Your strength & perseverance inspired me!
