THE SKY NEEDS STARS
NUDGE: ROBERTS MIDDLE SCHOOL VOLUME 37
Dear Roberts,
Many people say that one should find their own passion in life and should work towards it.
What is it about passion that we are all chasing? To find passion, it gets tricky. You might ask, "Why is it tricky?" What is it about passion that we seek? The word passion comes from the Latin root word, patior, which means to suffer. What are you willing to suffer for? Think about it, now knowing the meaning, are you passionate about your coworkers, friends and family? Are you willing to suffer for your dreams and hopes? How much pain are you willing to endure to find your passion? Fact is, sometimes we’re going to need to/choose to do things that aren't necessarily are easy. The rewards of finding your passion are considerable, but reaping these rewards may mean pushing back against what is popular and enjoyable in the moment.
As the school year comes to end, think about your passions. Think about what your goals are in education. I am challenging you to find your “why” in life and career. This summer take some time to push back against the resistance of complacency and push forward into professional development. Keep in mind that development can be in anything you are willing to suffer for to experience progress.
Through my lens, you showed true passion towards our students. You took on their pain and burden, and made them simply better. Many of them came to us below grade level and you were willing to suffer for them. Thank you for giving every ounce of yourself for the betterment of our students. You are truly remarkable teachers.
