COMMENTSYou have changed my life!! I really appreciated your lecture on Tuesday.
Your experiences are extensive and very admirable. I especially liked
what you said about “never arriving”. Most people do their things in lifethat they want to do and then they feel like they are on the highest
mountain( they arrived). Theoretically they had because of their own
accomplishments, but most “feel” that they have arrived without any
motivation to still “Love kids”. I too love my kids Mr. Johnson and until I
met you that day I felt as if my Love would be going in vain due to the
societal influences and the disconnection of today’s youth with the
important past of minorities. The youth today are troubled with influences
that they do not understand but are influenced in multitudes by the
negative forces of life and they are disconnecting from reality. It is as if
they are born in a depression and it grows worse as they reach higher
numbers in years. As you stated in class that day, they are
disconnecting themselves from nature. That cease in connectivity means
that soon and very soon the positive culture of students that used to exist
at least partially, will continue to crumble in areas of weakness.

COMMENTS
I am from a small town in California called Vallejo. Vallejo, Oakland
and the entire Bay Area for that matter is another Acres home by theeducation the demographics. I have always wanted to make an impact
on my own city but when I tried it there in California, I had gotten so
frustrated because other Teachers nor the principals shared my energy
toward youth development. I tried to lead by example but my examples
were demeaned, ridiculed and not supported. While so many beforeme were ridiculed they and you still had the perseverance and the
intestinal fortitude to continue despite opposition. The reason that I was
so frustrated is because by my trying to lead by example was not
enough and in California, there weren’t any examples to follow. Martin
Luther King and all the other great activists and advocates have donewhat they needed to do but the youth do not have the knowledge
required to appreciate his accomplishments or even the great
accomplishments that you have made. I lost my energy to provide what
I had started out to do, which was to teach, so I moved to Houston, TX
to give it another shot.

I am a Spanish Teacher so my influences are limited to a language. I
try to connect the language with the cultures of multiple Spanishspeaking countries, our countries culture and any other culture that
may arise and when doing so I also incorporate the civil
accomplishments of great individuals. As I said earlier, I WAS
discouraged because of various things but you brought me energy
again. An accomplished man who did all of his works in one
community and made an impact based off of a simple yet very
important idea. “Love the children” “Love the children” “Love the
children” “Love the children”. As I say these words, I am encouraged to
do better as a person, a teacher and a professional. I am encouraged
to return to Vallejo but not without all of my weapons (experiences and
education). I have decided that at all costs, I must be THE BEST
Educator and activist that I possibly can because I MUST BRIDGE
THE GAP. If I do not then who will??

COMMENTS
IF that means that I will need to get a certification in history, math and
science, it is detrimental that I do so. I have lost too many good friendsbecause their teachers, one of the most important people in their lives,
did not love them enough to go the extra miles required as their
profession actually mandates. You mentioned “trained” teachers. A
trained teacher will go the extra miles to save a community where they
realize saving is needed. Too many of us (teachers & parents) havethrown their hands up because of the adversity that we face in the
classrooms and in the community. I WAS one of those Teachers but you
were moved into my life because I needed to see a Man that has an
undying belief that kids can learn and had showed it through his
accomplishments. MR. JOHNSON, YOU HAVE GAVE MEINSPIRATION TO BETTER MYSELF SO THAT I CAN ADD
BETTERMENT TO THE CHILDREN. Form now on I WILL BE ONE
OFTHE MUCH NEEDED BRIDGES TO ELIMINATE THE GAP OF
IGNORANCE.

I will not be able to touch everyone in the world but the ones that are in
my world, I will affect them only positively. I thank you so much for
taking time out to come to our class and for taking time to “work for free”for the betterment of the world. I am in class now and I must get back
to the tasks at hand but I NEEDED you to know what you did for me.

It was such a pleasure last night for you to share your past experiences
with us! I’m happy that people can stand and truly say that hard work
pays off. This will be my third year teaching and I’m learning things
daily. My experiences this year has taught me how not to treat myfaculty! I would like to know if I could contact you in the future if I have
any questions about my career. I was the young lady wearing the mint
green shirt.
Thanks,

Prospective Dr. C. Johnson,
Bless you for the moving presentation on last night in Dr. Kritsonis's
administration class. I am truly motivated. I have been teaching for 11years. Your words mimic my actions and aspirations. I, too, love my
kids. Although I have not given out "gold". I have combed hair; supplied
other toiletries; privately discussed hygiene issues; encouraged
discouraged parents;and accompanied a student on the maternity
ward. I believe that I have the gift of motivation. Like you, the evidenceof my years of labor often surfaces years later. I have been contacted
by previous students over the years. Those contacts range from e-
mails, graduation invitations, and phone calls to nominations for
teacher excellence. Although the money doesn't do the profession
justice, I am compensated in other ways. Again, bless you for encouraging me!
