Friday has arrived and another week of January is behind us. As we all continue to find ourselves in the middle of the pandemic, we must remember that this is a very difficult time for everyone. Coping can be difficult. For me, I try to focus on what I can control, which is my emotions and my actions. That, of course, has not always been the case but I have tried to improve personally and professionally in that category. Years ago, I committed to three goals in my life: To be the best father I can be; to be the best husband I can be; and to be the best human I can be. Recently, I added to those daily goals after I recovered from a near death experience with COVID-19. I added, “Be Upright”. Though there are days that I fail miserably at all, my daily goals remain. With those failures, I have learned to pause, consider the impact of my actions, apologize when needed, reflect, and most of all make it right. This personal reflection I believe has made me a better educator. I wish you all a most excellent weekend…Go BEARS! (cue Josh Radin - Brand New Day).
Until next time...
