This summer has been quite interesting. I have had several unexpected blessings and pleasant surprises. First of all, I was featured in a blog by the Superintendent of Schools at Bethlehem Central School District. I consider it an unexpected honor. Check it out and tell me what you think. http://21stcenturyschoolleaders.blogspot.com/
The next surprise came yesterday when I attended the Owensboro Black Expo Gospel Explosion for what I thought was going to be a presentation of an award to my uncle who has been very ill this past year. I guess, the joke was on me because it turned out that I was the one getting the award. I had no idea that I was going to receive the Leitha V. Buck & Anna L. Martin Memorial Award for Outstanding Citizenship.
Things happen when you least expect them too. Each day is a gift to be cherished. Take time this year to count your blessings and recognize that when you receive them they are gifts to be acknowledged, cherished and appreciated. Make sure that you use the opportunities that you receive to try to make a difference in the lives of others. Give back in time and talent, if not resources. We all have something to contribute in this world no matter the color of our skin, the language that we speak, the size of our bodies or our age. Wherever you go, whatever you do strive to be the best that you can be! I want each of you to recognize your gifts and talents. We are here to plant the seeds and help you to cultivate and harvest the crop. Looking forward to a wonderful year of learning and student success! As I have said so many times before, Aim High and Dare to be Great!
