Dot

This is a great story not only for children but for adults too. Often times as people mature and take on more responsibility we become engulfed in work and forget about the seemingly insignificant events in our peripheral. What I mean is, in today’s fast paced society it is easy to see life through a microscope and forget the fundamental lessons we learn as children, such as,Believe in yourself and Don’t be afraid to try. The story of The Dot reminds me of the little engine that could, “I think I can, I think I can…” Start small and great things can and will happen; a valuable lesson for children and adults alike. It also reminds me of myself because I (as many children) was one who doubted myself at times and I am grateful that my teachers were there to encourage me. I believe all teachers and those aspiring to teach should read this book, never accept I can’t  or I don’t know how as an answer and you will surely be part of a snowballing effect comprised of greatness and gratitude.
