There are some words that stick in your head and you use them to guide your life in all aspects. About 15 years ago, our school took on the motto “Together we can make a difference.” As a teacher, I used it in my class as a way of getting along as well as a way of helping others. Now that I am a mom of three beautifully smart daughters, I want them to be socially conscious citizens who realize that there is a big world around them.
Education can be something that we take for granted and I didn’t know if my girls were aware of how different it is for some around the world. For some girls, school is just a dream. Hunger, lower social status, chores, early marriage, threats to safety, poor sanitation and extreme poverty are barriers than prevent 100 million girls around the world from receiving the education they deserve.
To help them better understand, I shared with them the story of Joyce.
When you invest in education, children will pay it forward. Equipped with knowledge and confidence, they will grow up to lead healthier, more productive lives.

This is great education I’s so important.
As a mother of three girls I am saddened to think that there are other little girls who won’t have as bright of a future because of where they live. You would think that in 2016 education wouldn’t be something so hard to have access too. I tell my kids daily that we should never take anything for granted because you don’t know what the future may hold.
I just love that your girls were willing to do this and share their goals. It is great for them to learn about how others are not at privileged too.
Always know that your dreams can come true. Don’t let anyone discourage you or tell you different.
Your future is bright and I know you can live up to and fulfill your dreams!
I would tell them to go for what they want, not to give up even if times get hard. Definitely don’t allow anyone to say you can’t do it. You can do anything you put your mind to.
Education truly is the key to the future. Kudos to Joyce for waking up at 4 a.m. to do what she needs to do. What a true example of perseverance in the face of hardship.
I would say to not let anyone stand in your way. Always be learning.
As an educator myself, investment is a huge aspect. Whether it is emotionally or financially. Educating the world can really help everyone
I would say there is always light at the end of a tunnel. Just keep going and never give up hope.
I would say to never give up and follow your dreams!
I said this-Be Strong and Never give up! Believe in yourself and reach for your dreams!
