One of my favorite quotes is by an amazing shero by the name of Maya Angelou, who I am sure everyone knows of. As I was trying to find quotes to post on and along the tables and walls of Columbine Elementary, I came across 30 or so amazing quotes by authors, artist, and philanthropist, but this one quote stuck out to me: "If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." -Maya Angelou
To some it may seem a little snarky, but to me, this is something I should have came across a long time ago. When students come to me to complain about something petty, I take them to the wall and they read the quote. If and when I get all crazy because I don't have control, I just say to myself, Michael! If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it change your attitude!
