"We create our own experience." We are responsible for living the life we have." "Think about others." Mr. Rao says, "Focus on the positive parts of where we are ..."

Your life did not just happen. You experience life exactly as you have fashioned it. If you are unhappy with where you are, you can remove the parts you don’t like and build them up again.   S. Rao

Focus on "Thinking about other people" ... one of 10 tips from a guy named Srikumar Rao

The exact attributes of what you are looking for do not exist in any job.  We create our own experience in any job. Changing your attitude toward your job can be a lot more helpful than finding another job.

Some of the posters (designed by our students) can have commercial value

Hello

I'm a teacher at SunEd High School in Broward.  One of my students is a fan of the Fair and he designed a poster. I'm sending the design to you in hopes that my student, Joel Henry, can get some sort of recognition for his support of fairs in general.

Thank you for your time.

Joel's email is  joel.henry12345@gmail.com

Best wishes for your current fair.

This blog is called SunEdQuotes.blogspot.com and your quote and poster could appear here

The idea is to cover walls with words that STUDENTS select.

Words from great speeches
Words from lyrics
Words from your parents
Words that you put together.

Combine the words with a photo that catches your eye and THAT's a POSTER QUOTE.

Go ahead... cause someone to top and look.   

Choose interesting background color. (blue, green, orange and purple are some colorful choices)
Choose a font that is clear (yellow or white letters on a dark background)
Choose a photo that grabs your attention and relates to the quote.
The quotes are built on BingBanners.com using the Online Design Center... 

We invite you to become a creator.

You can change the colors
of the background and
the font type and color

Put the images on T-shirts (Vistaprint.com)  and vinyl posters (using BingBanners.com)

The story behind the quote about Beauty ....

Here's the quote:

Beauty isn't about having a pretty face
It's about having a pretty mind.
a pretty heart and most important,
a beautiful soul.



What were you thinking about when you wrote your quote?

I was thinking about how I'm happy outside but inside I have hurt.  My hurt is covering my beauty.

T. Garland

Students can become creators by making "poster quotes"

Some students have been using BingBanners.com to create poster quotes"  They combine a photo with a quote.

Would it be a colorful idea to add a poster to each graduating student's presentation?

As the student's name is called, the poster is displayed on the screen....


Some of the inspiring quotes could be eventually made into a poster that is hung on a school hallway.

Some students know how to make these poster quotes with an app on their phones, where they add words to a photo that they've taken.

Other students use BingBanners.com  or Photoshop.
