This quote reflects a belief of mine because I think that no act of kindness is ever wasted. I believe that every act of kindness, whether it is a small act or a large act, is never wasted because someone will be happy in the end. I also believe that acts of kindness should be done out of the kindness of the person’s heart and not because they want to brag about it. We should do an act of kindness out of humility and because we truly wish to complete the deed for the person or community. It’s always beautiful to see a child or adult’s eyes light up when someone completes an act of kindness for them.

This quote reflects something about myself in that I am one of the biggest supporters of the students at my school site. When students come to talk to me about the obstacles that they are facing I always let them know that I am here for them and that I believe in them. I work with many students that need extra support and English learners, so they need someone to be there cheering them on. I always let the students know that I believe in them and these words of encouragement are sometimes the push that they need to keep going. Our students need a positive adult figure that can believe in them and continuously be supportive of their learning and provide positive reinforcement.

This quote reflects what I believe because I am a firm believer that when you have a dream you must pursue it. I believe that all dreams are attainable if you set your mind to them and do all that you can to achieve them. This goes along with the idea of having a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset. When I speak with students now that I am out of the classroom, I encourage them to pursue their dreams when they move on to high school and beyond. I always let students know that no matter what obstacles they may cross, they can always overcome them and never let go of their dreams.

This quote reflects a big belief of mine because I think that we are all capable of anything if we set our minds to it. This is once again a mindset that I would try to instill in my students and it mirrors the idea of a growth mindset. I think that when we set our minds to accomplishing a task and we try hard we can accomplish the task. There have been moments in my life where I feel like I am not able to accomplish something and when I finally reach the finish line, I feel a sense of accomplishment. I have seen students get to this point as well where you can see the joy when they learn something or accomplish a task that seemed impossible.

This quote reflects who I am because I believe that ideas can change the world. As an educator, our ideas and our words have the power to change students' lives and all those that work around us. When I was a classroom teacher, I would always tell my students that they were all capable of being learners and although they may not fully understand a concept today they would eventually understand it. The power of my words and the idea that I believed in them was powerful. I worked hard with my students to ensure that they were successful in learning math. Not only did I believe in them but eventually my ideas and words had an impact so that my students also believed in themselves.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. Desmond Tutu

This quote reflects what I believe because I think that if we all do a little bit of good every day then we are capable of flooding our community with good. I work at a school and I strive to do at least one good task for my coworkers, students, and the community that I work for because I want to do good in this world. If we all work together to accomplish good deeds every day then we can work together to transform the world into a better place. It doesn’t take very much to accomplish one good deed per day because it can be as simple as smiling at someone at school or greeting them. It is all about building positive relationships with those around us and working towards making the community a more positive place.
