I want to leave you with this video that is worth all 7 minutes. It’s a Convocation speech, given by 2011 graduate Michael McBride.

My takeaways from this inspiring video:
“A teacher’s job is infinitely more important than teaching. It is helping children learn to live, to laugh, and to love.”

“The best teachers I’ve had didn’t teach me….they inspired me.
They didn’t test my knowledge….they tested my character.
They didn’t capture my attention…..they captured my heart.”

Teach with passion and excitement today & everyday… ๐Ÿ™‚
