RMS Weekly Event Calendar
January 30 - February 3
What's going on this week!
There were many inspirational points within the movie; however, the one that stood out the most was the above speech by President Kennedy. His powerful speech promoted the quest for continued knowledge and discovery. He encouraged his country to strive to reach things that we once thought impossible, to seek progress, and to achieve grand goals. Even though there were those that didn't understand the importance of space exploration or going to the moon, President Kennedy knew that it was more than that. He knew that progress would happen in the world and we could either join in that progress or be left behind. He realized the future and success of our country depended upon our ability to keep up and move forward.
President Kennedy understood that reaching the moon would not be easy, but he believed that we could achieve this lofty goal. He acknowledged that we would have to stretch beyond anything we had achieved in the past to make it happen. He realized it would take effort, energy, and time to achieve, but ultimately, it would be worth it!
As I have heard many times, "If it was easy, anyone could do it." I believe, at Russellville Middle School, we are not just "anyone". We are a group of committed, forward thinking, talented, educators who don't look at a challenge as a reason to give up, but rather, as an opportunity to achieve a goal that we may not have originally believed possible.
What do you choose to do? As for me, I choose to go to the moon and believe we can get there. I hope all of you will go with me!
