Jucerasnji post moje kcerke...E na ovo sam ja - TopicsExpress



          

Jucerasnji post moje kcerke...E na ovo sam ja ponosna...najponosnija...kada shvatis da svaki sekund provedenog vremena sa svojom decom nije bio uzaludan... Grateful for my parents who always taught me that education extends way beyond the school building, and who always strived that both my brother and I become well rounded people. From making us read a daily newspaper from front to back, to taking us to the museums, to buying us the World Atlas, to making us watch Gone With the Wind and Die Hard in the same day, to making us listen to Mozart and Strauss and Janis Joplin and GunsNRoses and Backstreet Boys and Beatles, to buying us collected works of Mark Twain and Leo Tolstoy, to making us watch World Cup since before we could walk and talk, to having us celebrate both Christmases and Easters, and taking us to friends houses for Ramadan and teaching us about Hannukah, to buying us an Illustrated Bible and teaching us the Communist Pioneer pledge... Yes, I am blessed - because I am an Eastern European raised-in-projects girl who is in love with her two street lights small West Virginia town; whose best friends group includes blacks and whites and Asians and Native Americans and Republicans and Democrats and people raised on the back roads of Appalachia and people raised in the worst part of DC; who has been inside the White House but who has also not been ashamed to say that their grandparents house had an outhouse; who has shook hands with one King and one Governor but who has also hugged the homeless... Beyond blessed that my NON college educated parents always made sure that education can be earned anywhere as long as you are willing to learn..
