GET A HOT TUB YOU’LL FEEL BETTER
Trust yourself, listen to your inner voice and go for what gives you joy — both in work and life.
Not sure, that I have yet; however, my motto for most of my adult life has been “work hard, play harder.” I attempt to maintain 100 percent presence wherever I am. At work, I strive to give my undivided attention to my staff, students and families, while I also juggle the many tasks that I must accomplish each day to keep the school on track. In my personal life, I prioritize my health through rest, diet, exercise and a healthy dose of play (skiing, biking, hiking, dancing and laughing).
I am most motivated by the children we serve in our school. The excitement I see in them as they discover and understand a new concept, the smile of pride when they feel a sense of accomplishment and their ability to start each day with fresh optimism. If I am having a tough day, I take time to observe and work with the children; I gain perspective through my interactions with them. They help me remember why I chose the tough work of school leadership.
I am an eternal optimist. I believe in the possibility, and then I work to achieve it. If a door closes, I look for a window or another door to open. I don’t give up easily.
