I discovered something amazing.
I want to tell you about it, as the storyteller in me is apt to do.
I discovered a precept.
You know that word, don’t you?
Webster’s Dictionary defines it as a ‘principle intended especially as a rule of action.’
I said it again and again and tried to do it again and again on this first day back to teaching after spring break.
I will say and do it again and again tomorrow.
And every day for the rest of my teaching and writing career.
It goes like this -
Always leave people better than you found them.
Hug the hurt.
Kiss the broken.
Befriend the lost.
Love the lonely.
Every day, I hope to bring a bit of beauty, genius, wonder and courage to my home, my school, my community, my state, my country and my world.
This precept will help me do just that.
