We are taking a break from our usual blog entries this week. To put this in perspective, if you don't already know this about me, I am a crazy planner. With that in mind, I am getting everything straight in my head for next school year and already feeling overwhelmed. When I get stressed I try to bring myself back to center and think about why I do what I do. I have a serious passion for education and at the heart of everything I do is the desire to give students the best education they can possibly get to open the door to whatever future they may want...or possibly can't even dream of...yet.
My favorite inspirational video clip is actually an advertisement. I've used it as a kickoff for huge projects when I taught Earth Science, I watch it every time I need to get myself back on track, I play it as an inspirational intro to a long day of work when facilitating a grad class, and I share it with anyone who will give me one minute of their undivided attention...I cry every time I watch it.
As you take the one minute and one second to watch this, think about what you want to do for your student's lives. How will you help them to think differently and lead them to the best life possible. And for now, what are you going to do yet THIS SCHOOL YEAR to give these students what they really need and start to open the door to what you might be able to tap into even more NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

Hopefully this speaks to your heart too.
