Rita Pierson on Building Students’ Self-Esteem.

Rita Pierson at TED Talks Education

“I gave them a saying: ‘I am somebody. I was somebody when I came. I’ll be a better somebody when I leave. I am powerful and I am strong. I deserve the education that I get here…’ Say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you.” TED Talks Education.
