“I've told my players to let the light inside them always be brighter than the light that’s shining on them." - Coach Dabo Swinney ☝🏻One of my favorite thoughts from Dabo. It’s an important lesson about life. Who you are matters. Character always shines through.

The best teachers I ever worked with knew their students but also knew their stuff. It’s not an either/or, it's both.

God has something great for you but you must take action with faith and go through a battle to seize it. It’s never going to be easy. It’s not supposed to be. The struggle builds your character, fosters humility, develops your strength and makes you appreciate the journey.

I am a recovering worrier. Now, when I find myself starting to worry, I turn to prayer. I am learning to focus on my Jesus instead of my problems knowing that He will move heaven and earth to help me. 💛🙏🏻 #CelebratED

It may not be part of a job description but the most important duties of a leader is to support, encourage, inspire, and appreciate their staff.

Administrators who are unsuccessful, are so because they don't make relationships & staff morale a priority. Even if you didn't need a pat on the back doesn't mean it's not effective. Support, encourage, and appreciate your staff. Affirmation is powerful. #PrincipalBootcamp

Every day we have a choice. RISE AND SHINE or RISE AND WHINE. Choose to shine today! 👉 Replace “Have to” with “Get to.” 👉 Look for the good. 👉 Seize the opportunities. 👉 Feed the positive. 👉 Weed the negative. 👉 Encourage yourself and encourage others!

Resting is not a waste of time. It's an investment in well-being. Relaxing is not a sign of laziness. It's a source of energy. Breaks are not a distraction. They're a chance to refocus attention. Play is not a frivolous activity. It's a path to connection and creativity.

Yes!
