"I was told by a drama teacher that I might do ok if I was happy to settle for the fat girl parts. Look at me now!" - Kate Winslet
Great teachers & great parents shape the world we live in by instilling a belief system in each student - each child. It's important now more than ever to give love, attention, and acceptance to all kids. It's important now more than ever to help each student succeed academically by altering lesson plans, by spending one on one time with each student, and staying after hours to check for understanding of concepts.
Great parents and great teachers make students and children feel special just with simple hello's or simple recognition. We need to see the potential in every student and do everything within OUR power to bring out THEIR best.
How many times have you heard someone say that a teacher told them they couldn't do it unless... that a parent told them they couldn't do it unless... I am here to tell you YOU CAN DO IT!
There is a great quote by Ira Glass:
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.
For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.
Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work.
Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.
And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile.
You’ve just gotta fight your way through.
