One of the directors I met in Detroit was Shirley Wright-Haley of Little Scholars. We arrived too late to see children in action, but I did have the opportunity to ask one of the teachers what she was proud of. Wow, this should have been recorded! If each of us could be as passionate and eloquent about our work, we’d be able to get anyone and everyone’s attention anytime we wanted it. Shirley is involved in business mentoring through First Children’s Finance and here is roughly what she has to say about her new skill set:
“I have big dreams and goals. I’m not in a hurry now to reach them. I know that first I have to make this solid. Now I know I can make it. I’m the expert on Little Scholars. I want to be on the top, not just high quality, but the very best.”
