You Are the Change

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ~Mahatma Gandhi

There’s a new man in town.

No, he’s not this little cowboy. He’s the new principal of our town’s high school. He didn’t arrive with pistols on both hips, but he might as well have. One of his hands is loaded with high expectations. The other hand is loaded with the endurance to stay the course. His goal is plain and simple - change. He’s got a BIG plan to change the climate of our town’s high school.

What is he up against? Fights. Apathy. Drugs. Gangs.

What is his weapon of choice? Small changes. And lots of them.

The small changes he instituted at the beginning of the school year (5 weeks ago) are already having a positive impact on the students and faculty. Amazing! How is that possible? Easy. He believed the changes would make for a better environment. He did the things he could do. He encouraged the faculty to join him in these changes. I believe he took Gandhi’s quote to heart. He’s making a difference because of the vision of change he has in his heart. I am inspired.
