"You are a lifeboat to children that are drowning in a world of violence, poverty, and chaos. You have the rope to throw and pull them in. You literally might be the only ray of hope in their otherwise gray world. Without you, some of them wouldn't have a chance of surviving. Yes, it is hard. Yes, it is exhausting. Yes, it is unfair that you have to work harder and longer than many people in the same exact profession. But what an honor it is to know that YOU are their lifeboat. It is a privilege reserved for a select few because others would cave under the pressure. Consider yourself richly blessed.
You are a lifeboat."
Sometimes things are very frustrating and slow-moving, especially when dealing with schools/school districts. And often people end up not following through because there are so many demands on our time - I get it. On the other hand, however, there ARE people who support and uplift with the reminder that what we're doing is bold and hopeful. The key is to lean on them and not sink underwater, because YOU are to be relied upon.
