Things at Westlake International School have been moving so fast of late that it has been hard to keep track of milestones, and even just be still and digest what we've been going experiencing.
It is a great wonder to see the team expanding. We have quite an ensemble - different talents, personalities and experiences. That being said, we are bound together by the pursuit of something greater than who we are on our own.
There is full of broken things, but to me, few feel as desperate as the world of education. This is probably because the ideal of what education ought to be has long carved itself unto my heart, and is continuing to grow into something more beautiful and comprehensive as I mature. I have a long road ahead.
My colleagues are all bringing in things too - really good things. Pioneering is a once in a lifetime job to stamp something positive, meaningful and inshallah, lasting. These people care about kids and want it done well. I am in good company, and I should learn.
I wonder if we realize the magnitude of what we're doing?
Even as I work, I know that I have to acquit myself worthily before the kids, parents, teammates and employers.
I know that I want to make my family and friends proud.
That being said, I also know that technically, I perform just before an audience of One. And that, I think, will keep me going even when the going gets tough, and boy do I have a tough patch coming up!
This calling is beyond me.
