Education and living with Purpose

Purposeful thoughts on advocating for middle school students. Some write blogs on how to be a good educator, I would like to focus on why.

Pledging to #ReachHigher

Whitehall Middle School 8th graders progress on their Educational Development plans and on Thursday the exit ticket was a Reach Higher goal. As each student left the room, they handed me a slip of paper with either a career goal or a post-secondary training goal.

Post-secondary goals include specific 4 year colleges, a combination of community college and a university setting, military training, apprenticeships, and vocational training.

Careers range from welding, nursing, teaching, school counseling, and even president of the United States. I know the plans students make today will be shaped by the experiences they have in high school and life in the next several years.


I hope that each student enjoys the struggle of the journey.
I hope they know how to set short term goals to reach long term goals.
I hope they find a career that kindles creativity.
I hope they enjoy connections with their community.
I hope they help make our world better.
