"Acceptance is a word that few understand. We must accept ourselves for who we actually are before we can accept others."
quote by: Jayne M., 6th Grade, Pine View School, Osprey, Florida
Teacher: Fran Squires, M.Ed.
My artwork shows a strainer filled with negative thoughts and actions—but it’s also filled with love. The strainer filters out the negative so that love is left for us to embrace. It’s my dream and hope that, someday, we will be so filled with love that there will be unity and peace in this world.
