Quotes that remind me of my responsibility towards others.

-

This quote reminds me of the power we have as individuals. Often we underestimate the impact we have on others. We have the responsibility to be a light for others.

The third quote sums up where I get my strength from. I am eternally grateful that I am 'growing up', realizing that I am here to serve others.

Glen van Harte delivering his keynote address. Our district director, Glen van Harte, said, "We need to recommit and reenergize ourselves to look after our children. We have to watch our language. Language has the ability to leave scars that are often far more damaging than physical scars. We have to mediate the language we use with one another and with children.
