Small Steps...

Good morning!

I hope the weekend went great and that you were able to enjoy some time to yourself, with family, with friends or just doing what you wanted to do! We have many activities starting up for our winter activities and it is another great opportunity to get out and support our students in those activities. The amount of work that they put in behind the scenes is very impressive so if you have a chance, get on out!

Some ask, "What is wrong with society these days?" My question is, what are we questioning about it? Have times changed? Absolutely! But that is what evolution and progression is about. Prehistory --> Ancient History --> Bronze Age --> Iron Age --> Late Middle Ages (Renaissance) --> Early Modern History --> Modern History --> Industrial Age --> Machine Age --> Nuclear Age --> Space Age --> Informational Age...change is inevitable and change can be good if not great. The question is, why do you think this question is asked? Some believe the answer lies outside of us but could it lie within us?

I believe that there is two ways to think of this...you can either take responsibility for what we do or we pass the buck (blame) onto other people. As time moves on, things evolve. That being said, what stays constant is our morals and our values. There are many things that happen in our lives and some of those things will not go our way. We fail a paper, we make a bad decision, we are fired from a job, etc. The question is, how do you respond to this? Do we take responsibility for our actions or do we try and pass them on to another? Some would prefer the "easy" way on the elevator but sometimes, the steps are required.

In the end, I don't know if the question we should be asking is what is wrong with society but how can we contribute to society? It doesn't matter if it is as a student, as a parent, as a teacher, as a superintendent or just as an every day citizen. We can all stand by our morals and values and be the best we can be for ourselves as well as for each other. Success takes time and can cause a little sweat but it will get us to our destination.

Have a great rest of your Sunday and I will see you tomorrow!

Quote of the week to reflect on:

"The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs, one step at a time."
