A very Special Happy Birthday, to a Mom that has given everything she has to make a better life for her family, Nancy Ventre.
She was a 3rd grade student. She wasn't the most athletic girl in the school. She wasn't one of the smartest girls in the school. She wasn't one of the best students in the school. But she had it. There was something about her that the teachers always talked about. She had this glow about her that attracted others to her.
Well it was Friday in art class and the teacher decided to let the children draw anything they wanted today. As the teacher went around the room, she asked each child what they were going to draw. Responses were: my house, my best friend, my family, my dog.
Then the teacher approached that little girl and asked her what she was going to draw today. That little girl said, "I'm going to draw a picture of God." The teacher respondedwith confusion, "Oh sweetheart. You can't draw a picture of God." The little girl responded, "Why not." Teacher said, "Well you see sweetie. No one knows what God looks like." With all the confidence in the world, that little 3rd grade girl responded, "Oh they will when I get done with it."
"When we stop dreaming, we loose the excitement of possibilities."

Marguerita Goldseker, my student who sat in the front row closest to the podium, said she really liked that "guest motivational speaker" who came to class!
