(Will my baby talk, grow, learn?)

This is my preschool work environment. This is my community. This is why i live in a large city, with a beautifully diverse environment. I make peace when I go to mass with my community who may call Puerto Rico, Africa, Vietnam, or the United States (And of course our neighborhood) HOME. I make peace when I speak to parents, children, brothers sister -- Regardless of their language or country of origin.

I cannot change the war in Iraq, the hunger in Haiti. But my choice to live in this city, to work in this preschool, to act with Love and Peace are my personal change.
