Starbucks

I've been wanting to send in a contribution to Starbucks for a long time to be considered for their quotes on the coffee cups. I went online yesterday and discovered that they no longer ask for contributions from writers.

This is what I wanted to send in so I will include it in my blog:

The way I see it...the job of a parent is to teach your children to become independent, contributing adults within the safety of the family

• by providing enriching experiences,
• by being an advocate so your children get the education they need to reach their potential,
• by being consistent in establishing boundaries,
• by giving the greatest gift of time,
• by teaching logic and decision-making skills so your children learn to make responsible choices,
• by reading to your children and showing them an example of a reading adult,
• by stressing self-improvement and learning in your home, and
• by being an example of the character, values, and work ethic you feel is important.

If you want a great cup of coffee, go to Starbucks! Starbucks is more than coffee. It is a corporation you can feel proud to support. It gives health insurance to part-time employees and cares about people.
