A starting point for restorative justice is acknowledging our ability to cause harm despite our best intentions.
Here is an easy script to follow when harm has been caused:
“I’m sorry. I own the impact of my words/ actions. To repair this harm, I will [ insert action here ].”
Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy.
🔺When people talk about you, keep leading.
🔹When people compliment you, keep leading.
🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading.
Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading.
When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world.
KEEP. LEADING.
Former Starkville High School and EMCC QB Jaquez Johnson will be inducted into the EMCC Sports Hall Of Fame this Thursday night.
Just talked to Jaquez and will have his story in Wednesday’s SDN.
Junior College prospect that I’m a fan of is NyJal Johnson (@NyjellyJ). He had a phenomenal day. Definitely a diamond in the rough that can play. He will be taking over for @HolmesccFB. One to know! @quezzzo12
You’re safe.
No one is mad at you.
You can stop assuming.
You’re not that small child in trouble, who can’t relax.
The hypervigilance is from your past.
You’re safe, now.
