AMCMS Principal's Office
What's Going on in the Principal's Office?!
My Challenge to You
The power of saying thank you. I thought this video was appropriate since this is the week of Thanksgiving. For me Dr. Trice really hits the nail on the head. The power of affirmation through the words of Thank You. We all have a need to be noticed for the things we do in life whether it is at our job or at our homes.
I know that I can always do a better job of thanking everyone that I come into contact with. I can fall into the same traps as everyone else... I did not have time, I noticed but forgot to say, I did not want to embarrass them or myself, I was going to say something but then something else came up... As educators we work in what can sometimes be a thankless job. We work long hours that often go unnoticed by others. We get yelled at by students AND parents sometimes. We get testy with each other. We get frustrated with the comings and goings of the day to day. We just need to get to that break that seems to never come.
How about you? Have you been able to thank others that you come into contact with lately? What barriers are you experiencing that prevent you from thanking others? I challenge you to remove those barriers and see what a difference it makes in your life.
Between now and the end of the semester I challenge you to express your thanks to your family, friends, co-workers AND your students. See how things change when you are looking for reasons to praise others. There is good and bad in almost every situation. Give thanks for the good so that you can work through the bad.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. You all have earned it and most definitely deserve the time away. I thank you all for all that you do for AMCMS but more importantly for all that you do for yourself and for your family. You matter to me. Without you our school family would not be the great place that it is today. Thank you.
Think. Achieve. Succeed.
JM
