COURAGE is creativity and confidence unleashed upon new situations, bringing about a new self-awareness of inner strength. Oftentimes the circumstances may be scary and challenging but when courage is unleashed, it is rewarding! When courage is unleashed, it may confound others who wonder at how well one is coping with sudden occurrences.
Astound them!
When courage is unleashed, it may appear to others that one is crazy.
Amuse them!
When courage is unleashed, one will be identified as someone who takes risks.
Amaze them!
As educators, we are courageous. We are risk takers. We constantly try new ways to help students achieve. As educators we take risks daily as we build relationships with students as well as with parents. We take risks as we creatively and confidently look for ways to astound, amuse and amaze students about learning. When we take risks, we sometimes feel as if we are going out on a limb and we wonder who is going to catch us if we fall. My encouragement to us today is to LEAP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR.
Have courage. Have courage to always move forward to evolve; to resolve; to transcend heights; move barriers and accomplish what we know in our hearts to be true----that as educators we are the motivation of the learner. We motivate a thirst in learners to learn as we astound, amuse and amaze them. So we should always take that Leap to Teach in season and out of season because the net of accomplishment will always be there. As educators we must continue to act with courage, fidelity, patience and excellence in our job performance. Experience the inner strength. HAVE COURAGE UNLEASHED. Shelia Burlock, educator
