"My hope is that the early childhood field will begin to recognize and challenge the cultural standards of leadership that silence many of our most creative and dedicated colleagues. We can challenge the internalized low value placed on child care work in the greater society that is reflected in the limited presence of teachers and providers as our acknowledged leaders and spokespeople. By so doing, we can develop a group of leaders who are willing to question the status quo and to take the necessary risks to make working with young children a career that people can afford to pursue and a career that is respected."

"When I think of the word passion and the meaning to the word passion, what comes to mind are; what are my values, what are my beliefs. What are the ideas that lead me to action. What do I do so naturally, that perhaps seems so natural to me but may be challenging to others. What's in my heart."

I to feel the way Leticia Lara when it comes to the word passion. My values and beliefs causes me to do things natually, when things come from the heart they are not as challenging.
