This past week during a cinquain exercise for the Cultural Exchange Read Baby Read program, I asked a second-grader what she saw herself doing as an adult. 

She said that she wants to become a designer. She has compiled two sketchbooks of her ideas. Interesting.  Did Andrea Levy say that to herself in second grade??? 

Did Marc Vincent say to himself: I am going to teach and write about great art--???  I want to hear and see these stories.  It gives me hope to see the work of these artists represented in the pages of today's newspaper. 

Thanks to the Plain Dealer today for still trying to see the potential.
