Friday was a Professional Development Day for school district staff. I attended a session at the college.
It was an amazing presentation; Dr. Brown is truly an exceptional man. The personal connections that were made for me Friday, and that have since been made (and it's only Saturday morning) leave me speechless.
I left after the session to return to school with plans to change everything about my plans for Monday. I hope that I am able to inspire my students one tenth as well as Dr. Brown inspired me. A quote that I will leave you with here, and a profound reminder which is now up on my bulletin board, is this:
"Whatever is in my heart affects my children."
And by children, I mean (at this time) my students.
Thank you, Dr. Brown!
