Gunter ISD was blessed to have Dr. Eddie Bland to speak to, and motivate our staff to get ready for the year. Through his talk, we learned the following things.
Our choices, our attitude, our determination and perseverance make us who we are.
Coaches and teachers are a huge influence on students. We should all remember who pushed us and helped us travel our life's journey... tell them, "THANK YOU" even if you have to look them up to find them.
Unfortunately, we don't always get a "sign" when life throws a curve ball at us. We have to make a choice to be a victim or a survivor in those circumstances. Attitude, perseverance and determination will get you through.
Peer groups are your people. They have your back, no matter what. Get involved with your people! Ask for help if you need it because we are in the people business.
To sum up, make the choice to teach with a passion and change the lives of your students for the better.
Thank you, Dr. Bland, for making us laugh and inspiring us to choose to start the year off with a good attitude.
