This speech by US Navy Admiral, William H. McRaven is beautiful, moving, and inspiring.  I hope you will watch it.

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over thirty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I am highlighted in the the new edition of Jim Trelease's bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at both the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital.

    Nice to see a military man giving such a thoughtful and well-balanced speech. I’m off to make my bed now!
    Best wishes, Pete.

    I think Adm. McRaven as written the most beautiful, true, inspiring speech I have ever heard and this is how the world can be made wholesome, caring, and inclusive of all colors, creed, and circumstance. Wouldn’t that be wonderful! Thank you Tonya and Jennie!
