Writing the blog and the book is an outlet to encourage the masses that although we face many challenges we cannot give up on the dream. We must get to the final act and be able to look back and say that we gave it our all. We will beam with pride and relief as we watch our students go to the next level, ready for the new challenge.
This is the time when we need to hold ourselves accountable for what goes on in our classrooms. Yes, I know you may not have everything you need or want but that is irrelevant. You must press pass that and find ways to give your students what they need! Leave the pity party and get in the game! Renew your zeal and passion for teaching. Become contagious and the leader that your school so desperately needs. It's up to you!
Craig Harper list fifty things that highly successful people do, here are four:
7. They rarely complain (waste of energy). All complaining does is put the
complainer in a negative and unproductive state.
21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to
determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively
and consciously creating their own best life.
26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that
most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with life-shaping
decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that most won’t
and don’t.
37. They are resilient. When most would throw in the towel, they’re just
warming up.
Do not give up on yourself or the students that you teach. I hope over your break you have taken time to refocus and renew your mind. In the midst of the battle sometimes it is hard to know whose winning, but as long as you keep fighting for the one everyone else has given up on, you win!
Have a great new year!
