Background

About Mary Ayers

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." T. Roosevelt In my client-centered, child-protective capacity, my hope and goal is that while carrying out my oath and obligation to children, I treat everyone with dignity and encourage each individual who crosses my path to strive for their best. If we strive valiantly and encourage others to do the same, this world can change one person at a time. In my educational endeavors, my goal is to create a positive, challenging and academically rich environment in which high expectations and individual nurturing foster participant achievement. I'm committed to providing quality education, case management and programming that meets state and local standards.

If you plant seeds of love, compassion, truth and integrity, then you reap the rewards. If you choose not to plant anything, then weeds will overrun your garden; the weeds of hate, anger, negative thoughts and actions.” ~ Barry Gottlieb
