Can you believe that we are almost at the end of September? I can't. It seems like the days are flying by and we are truly now getting into a rhythm and flow that we'll follow through the school year. As we move through the school year, we must not forget our purpose. Keeping focused on the why we're here and the who we are here for will help us make it through the rough times that we will have. It is natural to have rough patches and how we navigate these times helps make us who we are. I am learning a lot about TCEA and our staff but one thing I learned over the summer was that we are a group of "risk takers". Seriously, you have chosen to work at a "start up" focused on educating the whole child and doesn't just say "the whole child" is important but incorporates this thought into everything that it does. Being a part of something new can be hard but if we work together, we can make anything happen.
Working together means that even when we're tired and we feel like someone is asking us to do something out of our "lane" we do the best we can with the task for the greater good.
Working together means that we have to inspect what expect until we get the results that we want!
Although you might get frustrated and feel like you're being asked to do more than you feel you should have to do, know that if these things are being asked by me...the students are at the core of the decision. That's where that part of remembering the who and why we're doing what we do is so important. Educating students is not about us...it's about the students we're pouring in to!
I attached a video that asks...What's Stopping You From Achieving Your Goals? I ask that when you watch the clip think about the ultimate goal you had when accepting a position at TCEA and what are you doing on a daily basis to make your goal a reality?
Looking forward to an amazing week!
