I Am

I am Compassion and Dedication.
I wonder how to help children see their potential as clearly as I do.
I hear too much talking and not enough doing lately.
I see hope, resilience, and beauty.
I want to completely reshape the landscape of education.
I am Compassion and Dedication
I pretend I can sing well every time I am alone in the car.
I feel overwhelming, boundless love for my daughters.
I touch the world through uplifting one student at a time.
I worry about the political divisiveness and lack of harmony in our country.
I cry when my children are in pain, emotionally or physically...and at any commercials depicting mistreated animals.
I am Compassion and Dedication
I understand there is a limit to how much I can help my students when they've experienced a traumatic event in their lives...even though it breaks my heart I can't help them more.
I say always live by The Golden Rule.
I dream of a Coke with no calories that actually tastes like a real COKE.
I try to practice patience and putting a leash on my sarcasm. (It's all in good fun, but some folks really don't get sarcasm!)
I hope for peace, love, prosperity, harmony, laughter, and, more than anything, to see my children happy and fulfilled now and when they are grown.
I am Compassion and Dedication.
