This has nothing to do with our readings, but I thought I would share it anyways. I came across a greeting card today that someone had given me last year. I thought these words from Maya Angelou would inspire all of us to continue our pursuit to what matters most - education

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.

Thank you for sharing that with us, Daphne! I hope that is the reason most people go into education. If you don't love education and feel passionately about helping children learn and grow, you won't be happy or successful at it.

You will be a great leader because you obviously care so much. Sometimes in class I notice a tear in your eye when we are talking about some of the most troublesome problems in the school.

I hope you never lose that card or its sentiments. It is good to keep things like that around you, at home, in your office, etc. to help you through the rough days. Best wishes with you problem children, I hope they all stay safe and in school.
