Take nothing for granted, not even for a split second!
In order to make your dreams come true it is important that you follow your passion. It is also important that you follow your passion having clear goals. Your goals will become a reality if you are willing and ready to work hard with perseverance.
Perseverance is striving and trying with unfailing acts of patient effort. It indicates that continuos toil, exertion, strain, drudgery, travail, and work be applied, activated, practiced, put use, and adjusted. To persevere means that you try and try again. It means that you don’t stop until what you sought and worked for is accomplished. It means that you don’t stop until you are successful. When you try hard enough and long enough and your efforts don’t produce your aim, then perseverance implies that your efforts be adjusted. Try again another way, then another, and another. Practice until whatever it is that you want to accomplish is achieved, until it is completed, until you have reached success. (Continue Reading …)

Building professional and positive relationships with parents and other adults is imperative to student achievement. Studies show that students perform best in schools where teachers openly communicate with parents regularly. It is important that parents are actively involved in their children’s education. It is equally important that a strong, consistent, professional, and healthy school climate is maintained encouraging parent involvement. It is imperative that close communications with parents and strong leadership skills from a caring teacher, not just the principal of our schools, be established to encourage student achievement.
Parent involvement can significantly improve the school climate and educational experience. It is a best practice for empowering teaching and learning for at-risk youth. Though we have students whose parent’s are not involved in their lives, there is usually some other adult whom they respect that will become involved in their education, when encouraged to do so. Thus, parental involvement can easily be replaced by the involvement of a surrogate in the form of an older sibling, a grandparent, a family friend, a concerned neighbor, a probation officer, a mentor, an aunt, an uncle, an older cousin, or some other concerned adult in the student’s life. Even the most disruptive student respects some adult involved in their lives. Most students have a responsible adult involved in their lives in some way.
It is important that teachers build professional relationships with students. An article from The October 21, 2008 edition of the Wall Street Journal supports this idea. Read the article to find out what happens when students who are at risk of failure or who drop out of school know that someone cares.

These are 10 tips to help teachers begin to form relationships with students, especially at-risk students.
I heard an educator speak very harshly to a combative young person recently. No, let me tell the truth, he cursed the tumultous teenager who is still but a child. I am in no way saying the student was right. However, this is my response to that educator and others like him.
There is power to transform live in the your tongue. Don’t let the tongue set yours off. With knowledge comes the ability to use it in positive and constructive ways. Also, with knowledge comes the ability to reflect on past mistakes and the strength to correct them. As we prepare ourselves to have a positive impact on our students this year, remember that we also prepare them for life. It is difficult to keep your composure when faced with a hostile child who verbally abuses so easily. It is not at all easy, for me either, to try to help a young person who has learned to want so little. I am not saying that when faced with a young person cussing you and calling every foul name in the book is an easy autrocity to stomach. I am not saying it is easy to keep from lashng back. I am saying that since we are the adults, since we are really the one with the upper hand, since we are the ones who are suppose to be patient and forgiving; that it up to us as individuals in individual situations to NEVER stoop to a level of alter-abuse.
In my reading recently, I ran across this tidbit of information. You will never guess where it came from. The thing that will stun you most, is when it was written.
“Most children in school fail. For a great many, this
failure is avowed and absolute. Close to forty percent of
those who begin high school, drop out before they finish. For
college, the figure is one in three.
Many others fail in fact if not in name. They complete their
schooling only because we have agreed to push them up
through the grades and out of the schools, whether they
know anything or not. There are many more such children
than we think. If we ‘raise our standards’ much higher, as
some would have us do, we will find out very soon just how
many there are. Our classrooms will bulge with kids who can’t
pass the test to get into the next class.
But there is a more important sense in which almost all
children fail: Except for a handful, who may or may not be
good students, they fail to develp more than a tiny part of the
tremendous capacity for learning, understanding, and creating
with which they were born and of which they made full use
during the first two or theree years of their lives. Why do thy
fail? They fail because they are afraid, bored and confused.”
There is tons of research proving that a child is better equipped to succeed in school when his or her parents are actively involved in the learning process. Here are 10 tips to ensure your child does well this school year.
1. Spend time with your children. They want and need your time more than they need the expensive ‘things’ many parents spend on them.
2. Keep in contact with your child’s teacher via email, phone calls, notes, or in person. Be consistent. Let teachers and school staff know you care. Make sure they are equipped with all supplies they need for the day.
3. Help with homework or check homework regularly. Even if your child doesn’t have homework, make sure he or she studies each subject 20-30 minutes dependent upon the ease of the subject.
4. Make sure your child reads outside of school and homework time. One hour is good for middle schoolers, two hours for high school students and 30 minutes for elementary school students is appropriate.
5. Cut out excessive, phone, television, and video game time.
God couldn’t have given you any greater job than to help parents steer the future. “Children are our future”, and it takes the dedication of people like you to ensure their success. Jesus said in St. Matthew 19:14, to let the children come to him.
A teacher’s role is difficult! Teacher’s are not allowed to give students the one thing that they need more than anything else; that is God. Nevertheless, a teacher who is Christ-like uses his or her actions as an example for righteousness and truth. Many a soul has been won by merely observing a good role model. Even in the face of the challenges and turmoil that sometimes overtake your days in our schools, the future of many young people has been secured by dedicated teachers who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
“I can do all things through Christ which strenthens me.” Philipians 4:13
