I have encountered many quotes throughout all my readings this semester, but one quote really hit home and made me realize my purpose in life and where my journey was taking me. The quote reads, "Leadership means taking responsibility for what matters to you" In the past, I pretty much just stayed within my four walls and only worried about my 32 kids. Writing this down, makes me feel a little ashamed to be honest. It's just that I always felt overwhelmed and incapable of doing things or bringing about change. Half way through my masters journey, I feel that my narrow way of thinking has expanded beyond my four walls. As a society of education, we need to think beyond; the future, we need to think bigger, we need to move forward and think outside the box and do the things that haven't been thought of yet or done before. Children's education matters to me, helping my colleagues feel empowered matters to me making our new generation of students succeed matters to me more than ever. I have a new mindset and students success now seems tangible, something reachable, that we can all grab. I am now an Innovative leader, and I have a responsibility to fulfill, not just because I have to, but because I want to.
