My Truth

 I have struggled with what to share this week because I can honestly say that these past 9 days have been some of the hardest I have had to walk through as a school administrator...and that is saying a lot.

I have experienced deaths of students and staff members (or their family members), threats of litigation, multiple staff resignations or promotions that caused a great person to leave our midst.  I have been threatened physically and have even been bitten, hit, kicked, and almost run over by an angry parent.

But these past days have been different...they have been harder...they have been a struggle.

And I know that most of you have or will have those days that make you question what you have always thought was true.

So, what do you do? You turn to YouTube for a reminder of what your TRUTH is.  I know I am a good leader (I promise I have worked for and with some that did not pass the good leader test).  I know I still need to grow and improve. That has not died in me.  So I turned to a proven leader who I do not always agree with but definitely has enough wins to prove he knows what he's talking about. And Falls please do not EVER mention to anyone I am sharing wise words for them coach!!

His main line: Do your job. And do your job well!
That is what a good leader does and expects from those he/she leads.  

That is my truth as a leader.  Is that your truth as an educator or support staff member at TCEA?
