My Girl

Last year, in 3rd grade, my daughter had to choose a person she admired and do a intensive report on that person. Kate chose Rosa Parks. When there weren't many books in the school library about her, the teacher tried suggesting some other people she would have an easier time researching. She wouldn't budge and I was fine with that. Our home library now has 4 great books about Ms. Parks. This past week, her class was talking about quotes and she had to find an example of a quote. This is her choice:

"Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate can not drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction." Martin Luther King, Jr.
