I often wonder - just how much difference can I make? My thoughts and ideas get big and often become overwhelming to the point where I am not sure if I can manage a first step toward reaching the goal or if I should turn away and look for another idea. When I came across the poster of Nelson Mandela above, I realized that if he can accomplish all that for South Africa, surely I can try make a difference in my community, school, home, my own life...
When you are faced with a challenge that seems insurmountable in your classroom, I encourage you to dig deep, take it one step at a time and try. It may be that one step that inspires all the steps that follow. It may be that one step that makes all the difference for the student whose life you just made a little better. It may be that one step that snowballs into a new friendship with a colleague.
Have a good weekend. Go CADETS!!!
