YOU ARE ONE, Teach!

Teachers are important.  Teacher motivation and inspiration are also important.  Consider this post a virtual hug for teachers--cuz you deserve it!

This blog post is kind of a continuation of my last post. My last post spoke of the impossible expectations placed on educators.  It quoted author Edward Everett Hale as well as the Blue Bloods TV series.  Essentially, the quote said that we can't do everything but we can do something. You can click here to read the entire post.

Today, I want to share more of that same quote by Edward Everett Hale. The first part of that quote--which I intentaially left out in the last post—states, "I am only one--but still I am one."  YOU ARE ONE! How powerful is it to believe that you are one! You may only be a small piece of each child's life story--but still you are a piece of it.  Be the best one you can be. Remember, you may only be one. But still YOU ARE ONE! In other words you can have an impact...and you are having an impact!

On a side note, if you are looking for a great show to enjoy watching (or even "binging" on), I highly recommend Blue Bloods (which is where I first heard the quote by Edward Everett Hale).  It's clean and entertaining--a combination hard to find in these days.  Check it out here:

As always, hang in there, Teach!
Happy Teaching,
