Day 180 Choices

Yesterday at the Celebration day for @springwellcss both @andrewshim and @nickiesault who work in the media industry - they are an actor and director (This is England fame) - spoke about their history and choices they had made. Nickie spoke very eloquently about deciding that she wanted to study art - she spoke about teachers that blocked her and about teachers who 'broke rues' took a risk and gave her a chance. Andrew said he went into acting to 'please his gran'! and despite previous unwise choices in his past is now fully committed to his work and was a superb role model for the kids. I'm over simplifying what they said but they both spoke from the heart and captivated both children and adults alike. As teachers we have a choice - we need to nurture and sometimes that choice involves risks! Thank you for reminding us of that.
