Monday Motivation - Everything Starts With a Strong Foundation
When building skyscrapers, builders don’t start by just building up. They start by digging below the ground in order to create a foundation of stability. Engineers carefully design these buildings on bedrock. The strong foundation of bedrock
helps the buildings reach incredible heights. The higher the skyscraper you want to build, the stronger foundations you need. Without these strong foundations, the skyscraper will collapse.
Educators are like skyscrapers. We are building educational foundations for our students. Each year, teachers build levels of knowledge on top of the previous level. We are creating levels of stability for our student’s future. If we want to
build up we have to first dig deep and develop that strong foundation. Today I want to encourage you to do some digging. Carefully construct lessons that lay strong foundations. Execute these lessons to be as strong as possible. Strong like concrete. Everything starts with a strong foundation.
