Each of these quotes were put into a word generator and created the collage.

These quotes were

selected because I think they represent the need for community or are a representation of good
community characteristics. The Power of Disability was a major source of inspiration when
writing my narrative and also helped me connect my big idea to what that meant for me as a
future educator and for society.
