Roberts Middle School
Grit: Volume 23
Dear Roberts,
If you ask one of our RMS fifth graders what the greatest discovery was for cavemen, they would probably say fire. Humans finding fire was a game changer. It helped us cook, gave us light and helped us stay warm. Fire did something else as we got smarter. We started using fire in new and ingenious ways. Fire sparked curiosity and wonder, which led to several other thought provoking questions. Roberts, all we need is a spark. All we need is one new resource, one change or one new thing and we can change the trajectory in a child’s life.
When I needed a spark in my own personal life, my driving fuel was my attitude after each setback. What I learned on my path of leadership was that I needed to model the way. What I wanted to see in others is what I needed to amplify within myself. Today, I wake up each morning and say, "What can I add to my skill set? What can I do today to add to someone’s joy? What can I do to serve someone else?" What I learned about keeping a mindset of service is that my problems in my most difficult times become smaller. I ask you, "What is your fire? What spark are you looking for in your life?" As teachers, we need to be constantly seeking ways to improve our skill set, bring joy and serve others. You can be the spark in your students’ lives. You are the game changer!
