Book I asked myself, “What is happiness, and when do I know when I have finally found it?” God took me through a process, and I found out that happiness is not what I possess, or who I am with, and happiness is not anything that anyone can offer me. Happiness is the success I achieve when I accept my life with its imperfections and utilize what I have learned to change someone else’s life. Thus, with a simple "Yes" I said to the Lord I will accept my life as my journey to become the perfect me. Perfect is not one without flaws; it is one that requires me to be the best that I can possibly be; then to Him, I am perfect for today and prepared for tomorrow. God designed our life for us to enjoy, not just to survive. We often wish ourselves out of our current moments of life, just for us to walk right past them into the next season without recognizing what we left behind. This book is designed to take you on a journey through the inner thoughts and deepest hurts of your life. The questions and assessments require you to be honest and transparent with yourself in order to get real answers and get to the root of issues in your life. This process will also help you identify who you really are and see how everything in your life has purpose. By the end of this book not only will you be able to answer the question of "Why don't people like me?", but you'll also be one step closer to becoming the perfect YOU.
This practical book will help early childhood teachers (preK–2) understand and respond to the multiple influences (school, home, and societal) that affect emergent bilingual children’s academic achievement. The author explains the foundations of first- and second-language development and then provides teaching and curriculum practices specific to reading and English language arts. Chapters address incorporating first-language strengths, acquiring a second language, learning to read, building vocabulary, comprehending and thinking with text and language, helping children persevere, and more. Approaches for collaborating with families accompany each chapter. This book is designed to help teachers understand the underlying principles so they can modify, develop, and adjust their practice to be most effective for the emergent bilingual children they teach. It is a valuable resource for developing bilingual programs, teacher preparation, and professional development. “An excellent resource for PreK–2 educators who need to know how to effectively implement school standards and fortify children's primary languages to guarantee their success.” —Anita Pandey, Morgan State University & Author, Language Building Blocks: Essential Linguistics for Early Childhood Educators “It is rare to find a scholar with as much commitment to making research real for teachers as Theresa Roberts.
