Reflection on Week 1


We have gotten off to a great start; I loved reading your "Who Am I?" stories and learning more about what has brought you to this time and this place.  I think we are well-suited and will all learn from each other and grow personally and professionally this semester.  

My food for thought this week is:

There will always be stones on the path of your life. Will you use them to build a wall or a bridge? Remember, you are the architect of your life. 

Walls provide protection, but while keeping us safe, they also prevent us from taking the necessary risks to grow and change.  As you move toward your goal of teaching, this is not a time to be isolated.  We must collaborate, share, assist, and lift up one another in order to get the job done.  There is strength in numbers, so my challenge to you ~ let's build a bridge together this semester...a bridge that will carry each of us closer to our dreams and aspirations.  I am excited to put on my work boots and some heavy gloves to dig down and get the hard work done alongside you.  

I can't wait to see this semester unfold with each of you.
