Mission Statements

This week I taught my Salon I class about life skills. In this chapter we talked about goals and the students had to create a mission statement. I am proud of how I taught the lesson, because I also had to share my personal mission statement with my students, which is; " To be the BEST ME, that I can be". However, I am more proud of my students, and some of their mission statement. They were so creative and touching. One of my students mission statements was so touching it almost brought tears to my eyes. I had a couple of guys whom mission statements was awesome as well. It really made me think. Made me want to beef up my game a little. So right now I'm working on a new mission statement, and also creating some new goals for my life as well. It's really not what lesson I taught that made me proud this week. It's was a lesson that was taught to me, through the eyes of our children, that made me proud. Sometimes because of the politics, I forget about the real reason that I was chosen for this job. My principle told me that he chose me, because he could see that I would care about the students. So it's lesson like this, that shows me that my students and I need one another. I really am blessed to have this position, and lessons like this show me just how blessed I am.
