And I know that the best way to go about a difficult task is to have an incredible time doing it
The staff got an email form the Big Cheese to please help the one cleaning person we're down to. As I looked around my room I realized I've once again let having a clean and organized room slip away from me.
I took the high road and admitted my fault, sending her this email:
"In my massive data crunching and “Everyone Must Grow” teaching method I’m once again letting this area slip.
But will I give up?
No! “No” I say!
Did I give up the hope I could be on time even though it has been a chronic problem in my past?
No! My past IS NOT my future! (97% On Time this year – only 1 day 5” late)
Did the Americans give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
No!
Then neither shall I!!!!!!!
(and all this energy after waking up and rock-and-rolling since 2am)"

Success and achievement and all things related are made much more magical when experienced in an all-out state of enjoyment, even when no one seems to be following your lead.
I am extremely happy to report that the student who finished LAST among ALL 4th graders in math last year is FIRST in GROWTH of BOTH math classes......a 240% improvement in just two months.
Where he WAS is NOT where he IS now!
It's good to be a ridiculous dreamer.
All it takes is for at least one other person to believe with you.
He is my Hero. Just an ordinary person doing extra ordinary things
