Here we are again, CEC Membership!
We are faced with another year of navigating through hard times and paving a way that seems impossible. As I sit here debating what is most important, I am reminded that there are few things we can do as we push on and push through during another tough school year.
Here are my thoughts:
1. Hope is most important. We got into this work because we had HOPE for the future. Hold on to that HOPE. Hold on to it for you and for all those that you serve. They need HOPE now more than ever.
2. Focus on what you can control, NOT what you can not control. Stop worrying about all the things you can not control. It will stop you from accomplishing anything. Trust me - set your eyes on what you can control - your attitude and your behavior.
3. Stop making things about you. Everything that happens to you is not about you. People hurt people when they are hurt. It has nothing to do with you. Your students, your colleagues and your families will hurt you and it has NOTHING to do with you.
As we move forward with this year, be the light for others.
Looking forward to a great year with all of you!
Dr. Ann Marie Taylor, SCCEC President
