As a coach of over 15 years, the Steve Jobs quote really resonated with me:
“My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.” – Steve Jobs
I would be proud to reference this quote as a teacher, a coach, and a mentor. I have always believed in the practice of being kind but firm, and giving compliments and encouragement twice as much as giving critique.
If you worked in the middle school the summer after the Barbie movie was released... you'll know that I was deeply moved by it. Besides the messages of equality, self discovery, and the celebration of female empowerment - I have continued to resonate with one particular quote from it - "I have no difficulty holding both logic and feeling at the same time. And it does not diminish my powers. It expands them."
For many years of my life, I thought that I was flawed because I was so empathetic. But as I have grown, I have learned that it is actually one of my greatest super powers. I work tirelessly to remember that children (and adults) are just people. And people make mistakes. And people deserve grace, and forgiveness. And if no one else in their life is capable of giving them these things when they need them... I will.
