Bridgeton's John Fuqua is tired of all talk and no action on city violence
Updated: Jan. 18, 2019, 7:23 a.m. | Published: Apr. 29, 2012, 10:00 a.m.
By Stephen Smith/ The News of Cumberland County
John Fuqua speaks during a Steered Straight program last year in Bridgeton.
- John Fuqua feels he has failed his city.
He gave up a well-paying teaching job in
five years ago and moved back to
to mentor his nephew, Rakeem Stubbs, who had told him the city's gang problem was getting out of control.
Stubbs was getting into trouble himself.
About a year-and-a-half later on Christmas Day, 2008, Stubbs died at the age of 18 when he was gunned down in the Bridgeton Villas Apartment complex.
Stubbs' grandmother – Fuqua's mother – rushed to the scene of the shooting and died of a heart attack after seeing her grandson's lifeless body.
This past Wednesday, a jury found Stubbs' alleged murderer, Donald Scurry Jr., not guilty of the crime and he was allowed to walk from the courthouse a free man.
Several hours later, someone fired multiple shots into a house on the 100 block of
Police said they believed the shooters were aiming at a group of people in front of the house, and that the shooting was directly related to the not guilty verdict.
Fuqua, who said he wanted to "... change the attitude of an entire city," when he returned in 2007, said Friday that he feels like he has failed to reach the goal he set for himself.
"I came back to save my nephew, and I feel like I failed in that because my nephew is currently residing in a graveyard," Fuqua said.
He had heard about the post-verdict shooting last week and wanted to dispel any notion that members of his family or any of their friends were responsible.
"I just wanted to clear the air. One of the kids at the trial who was supporting my family was the person whose house got shot up," he said.
Stubbs' niece was in that house at the time of the shooting, and though neither she nor anyone else was injured, Fuqua sees the incident as just another sign of a city out of control.
"When I came back, I talked about one of the problems we have, which was we can't get a building for these kids to do recreational activities in," he said. "I know from living in the 2nd Ward that Donald Scurry and my nephew had a beef from 13 or 14 years old. They were out on the streets, and they inherited this beef from grown men, and it culminated. And that's not only why we lost Rakeem, that's why we lost my mother too."
Fuqua runs three basketball leagues in the city: the Safe League for fourth through eighth graders, the PAL league for ninth through 12th graders, and the MAN UP league, standing for "Moving Away from Negativity, Utilizing and Planning," for those 8 and over. He said about 240 boys and men from the city participate in the leagues.
"I've been running leagues for the past five years, and it only costs around $1,100 a season to run one of these programs. Every year the Youth Service Advisory Committee has a budget, and in
, not one dollar is going towards prevention. Every dollar went to intervention. The kids have to be in trouble to get funding," he said, frustration building in his voice.
Groups that allow kids to get together and engage in a constructive activity can help them avoid a violent future, Fuqua said, but officials seem to throw money at every other program instead.
"I've seen 'Adopt-a-block,' ... how about you adopt a block and do something with the kids on that block," he said.
Fuqua thinks that Mayor Albert Kelly has been attempting to solve the problem of at-risk youth, but said he has simply heard too much talk and not seen enough action.
"My whole thing right now is the idea of actually doing something. There's no need for meeting on what you're going to do. It should be beyond meetings and public panels. Since I've been back,
's been reactive, not proactive," he said.
Fuqua thinks that teaching young people how to resolve their problems without resorting to violence should be the main goal of the city administration.
"If you were in the administration of any city and knew there had been three murders since this time last year, wouldn't you be doing something about it? How about a program that actually brings in the people doing the shooting," Fuqua said. "I'm not talking about cleaning off a grandma's porch and clearing trash from in front of her house.
"How about getting these 17-year-old kids into an environment where they can come and learn conflict resolution?"

China Everbright Limited completes acquisition of Tirana International in Albania
By Helen Norman on	 October 10, 2016 Airport, Operations
Investment company China Everbright Limited (CEL) has completed the acquisition of 100% of shares in Tirana International Airport SHPK (TIA), which owns the concession right to operate Tirana International Airport in Albania until 2027.
Tirana International is Albania's primary airport and the number of annual passengers at the airport has increased from 600,000 in 2005 to more than two million in 2015.
Chen Shuang, executive director and CEO of CEL, said, "Thanks to the support of the Albanian government and TIA's management team, CEL is delighted to have completed the acquisition of Tirana International Airport. The acquisition is a proactive corporate approach to identify good infrastructure investment opportunities, which is in line with China's 'One Belt, One Road' initiative.
"With CEL's support and resources, TIA can further upgrade its facilities and hardware to create excellence in all aspects. Also, leveraging on CEL's extensive networks in China, we believe that trading and tourism between the two countries will be further promoted. Therefore, this acquisition is of great significance and value."
CEL is experienced in the aviation industry and is the single largest shareholder of China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited, an independent aircraft leasing business. China is currently Albania's second largest trading partner nationally.
Rolf Castro-Vasquez, CEO of TIA, said, "We are thrilled to announce an era of transformation with CEL. The current shareholders and all employees have proudly developed the airport and served its passengers, providing state-of-the-art facilities. We look forward to further growth under the new shareholder by delivering what our travelers need and wish for."

blog Football/ October 19, 2022/
Can You Watch Superbowl On ESPN Plus
You can watch the 2016 Superbowl on Sunday on ESPN Plus. It is a free service that enables you to watch the Superbowl while enjoying the game and the surrounding events.
The game is being broadcast on Sunday in the United States and Canada on ESPN Plus, which is owned and operated by the NFL. It is one of the largest online streaming services in the world, with about 35 million subscribers. The NFL is also the largest television network in North America, with nearly 100 million customers.
It's not the first time this has happened, actually. In February 2015, a similar service called "Super Bowl Live" was launched in Singapore. It was also free, but only for the first 48 hours, and so was limited to the Super Bowl. But then it suddenly went down entirely. The NFL is clearly trying to get as many people to watch the 2018 Super Bowl as possible, and the Super Bowl Live service looks as vibrant and murderous as ever in its new story trailer.
While Super Bowl Live certainly doesn't look as vibrant and murderous as the previous Super Bowl, it does offer a few new features that will hopefully appeal to the same demographic. These things are probably best described as gimmicks, like things you probably already have. Super Bowl Live will still be free for 48 hours, and you can watch the Super Bowl on a desktop computer or a tablet if you're willing to shell out.
Unfortunately, the only people who are likely to use the service are football fans. Even then, there are a few ways that you can stream the game. You can either stream it online, or you can just watch it on your phone or tablet, but I'm not sure I'd recommend that. There are also a few things that you can do to make sure that you can watch it without having to pay. There are commercials before and during the game.
The commercials are generally pretty good. But the show itself is pretty poor. They don't really try to keep the game interesting. The game is always going to be a bit of a bore, and they seem to have a hard time following any of the players. While this isn't the worst thing in the world, it isn't really their fault.
While the commercials are pretty good, I wouldnt watch it. They arent a great way to experience the game. At all. But its a little hard to recommend watching it without paying.
If you watch it, that is. If you dont watch it, that isnt. It's like watching a film that's on loan to you when you can't physically go and make it yourself. One of the other things that you have to watch is the commercials for the game. For me, it's pretty bad. I would not recommend watching it, but I would recommend reading the game reviews.
The real problem with football is that you can't actually watch it. You have to go to the game and watch it on TV, or get the game on your phone and look at it on the internet. Espn Plus is a great way to watch it, but if you want to watch it, you need to pay for it. I think it's a little more expensive than watching it on TV.

After having tried traditional gyms for years, The Girl Spot founder & owner, Judy Jovanelly, was looking for a way to have fun while exercising. Upon discovering the joy and unparalleled challenge of pole dancing, Judy, an ex-professional entertainment dancer, wife and mother, knew immediately that she had to kick everything in her workouts up a notch and continue learning more.
The only downside to this incredible discovery seemed to be the lack of safe and effective pole studios in the area – especially ones boasting a great social atmosphere and strong fitness regimen. Most gyms or studios offered classes that were either too rigid and intense or too lax and not nearly engaging enough for her and her colleagues. So Judy turned to her own devices and put together the idea of The Girl Spot!
The Girl Spot is alternative fitness in it's finest form. Not only can you schedule a class and get an amazing workout, but you can blow off steam from stress at work, family obligations, or just the rigors of daily life.

How a Democratic U.S. House could alter foreign policy
Ilhan Omar, a Somali refugee newly elected to the US House of Representatives on the Democratic ticket, celebrates with her supporters after her Congressional 5th District primary victory in Minneapolis, Minnesota on November 6. US voters elected two Muslim women, both Democrats, to Congress, marking a historic first in a country where anti-Muslim rhetoric has been on the rise.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrats will use their new majority in the U.S. House of Representatives to reverse what they see as a hands-off approach by Republicans toward President Donald Trump's foreign policy, and push for tougher dealings with Russia, Saudi Arabia and North Korea.
Representative Eliot Engel, the Democrat in line to head the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said they may also push for congressional authorization for the use of military force in places like Iraq and Syria. But on some hot-button areas, like China and Iran, he acknowledged there was little they could do to change the status quo.
Now that they have taken control of the 435-member House of Representatives for the first time since 2011, Democrats will decide what legislation is considered in the chamber and have a bigger role in setting spending policy and writing legislation.
"I don't think we should challenge something just because it's put forth by the administration, but I do think we have an obligation to review policies and do oversight," Engel told Reuters in a telephone interview.
Since they must still work with a Republican-controlled Senate to pass any bills, the Democratic majority's greatest influence will be oversight, the ability to call hearings and, if necessary, subpoena witnesses, as they lead committees like Foreign Affairs as well as Armed Services and Intelligence.
HOW DO THE DEMOCRATS SEE RUSSIA?
Democrats plan Russia-related investigations, such as a probe of possible business ties and conflicts of interest between Trump and Russia.
From a policy perspective, a Democratic-led House would push to punish Russia for interference in US elections and activities including its aggression in Ukraine and involvement in the Syrian civil war.
The House would push for more sanctions, including measures targeting new Russian sovereign debt. It would also try to pressure Trump to enact all of the sanctions in a sweeping bill he reluctantly signed into law in August 2017.
Members of Congress have also vowed to push harder, using subpoena power if necessary, to obtain information about Trump's summit last summer with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The White House has released few details about the meeting.
"It's ludicrous that there could be such a high-level meeting between the two leaders and Congress should be in the dark about it," Engel said.
He said the issue of Russia's interference in the 2016 election "hasn't been at all resolved."
WILL KHASHOGGI'S KILLING INFLUENCE SAUDI TIES?
The furor over the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul has added to lawmakers' frustration with Saudi Arabia over the war in Yemen and human rights.
A Democratic-led House would vote on legislation to block arms deals with Riyadh, make it difficult to win congressional approval of a nuclear energy deal and consider a measure to stop US aircraft refueling and other support for the campaign in Yemen.
While Engel still views Saudi Arabia as a counterweight to Iran's influence in the Middle East, he said Washington must demand more from Riyadh. "If the Saudis want our support, then they have to address some of the things that concern us," he said.
DON'T DEMOCRATS WANT PEACE WITH NORTH KOREA?
Democrats say they are determined to obtain more information about meetings by Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, worried that Trump is so eager to make a "great deal" that he will give Kim too much.
Engel and other Democrats plan to call administration officials to testify in public, and behind closed doors, about the status of talks. But they also will walk a fine line, because they do not want to be seen as interfering with diplomacy and efforts to prevent a nuclear war.
"I think it's good to have some kind of a dialogue with them. But we shouldn't be deluded in thinking that they're going to have any major changes," Engel said.
CAN DEMOCRATS CHANGE CHINA POLICY?
Democratic House control is not expected to yield significant changes in China policy. Democrats will hold more hearings and demand more briefings, but criticism of Beijing has so far crossed party lines and that is not expected to change.
Prominent Democrats, such as Representative Adam Schiff, who is in line to chair the House Intelligence Committee, have joined Republicans backing measures to clamp down on China, like legislation treating ZTE Corp and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd technology and phones as major cyber security threats.
But Engel and others acknowledged the need for China as a partner, particularly in dealing with North Korea. "I think we need to be careful not to lash out," Engel said.
Like Republicans, Democrats are divided on Trump's trade war with China. Some party members see free trade as a generator of jobs, while others back tariffs to protect workers in industries such as steel and manufacturing.
CAN DEMOCRATS REVIVE THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL?
Democrats were infuriated by Trump's withdrawal from the international nuclear deal with Iran that Democratic President Barack Obama's administration reached in 2015. But there is little they can do to change the policy as long as Republicans occupy the White House.
Lawmakers also are wary of seeming too friendly to Iran, especially given hostility to Tehran by the government of Israel. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has worked increasingly closely with US Republicans, strong ties to Israel remain a top priority for both parties.
Engel was among Democrats who opposed the Iran deal, but he said Trump should work more closely with important allies, like the members of the European Union, on that and other issues. "I think what we should do is try to repair the damage with our alliances that has been done," he said.

Here's some videos I've found that might help anyone else working on the Esperanto tree.
This is amazing, I didn't expect to understand the sequal, but to my surprise I found that I could follow most of the conversation. I feel kind of sad that ive seen them all now (unless there is a whole series that is not yet up on YouTUbe).
I also found this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GGdi_nFQA0 which is based on this book: http://esperantofre.com/gerdakd/gerda.pdf (Granda Malaperis). This book is written for beginners and what I do is I watch a couple minutes of the film and than read the same passage of the book.
Same here! I am still reading the book... even when understanding everything it cost a little bit to wire the brain the esperanto way.
There used to be a correspondence course based on Gerda Malaperis. I did it quite a few years ago by email, but I think lernu.net offers an updated version.
Dankon, tiu estas tre helpema!
I wouldn't recommend those children's stories for children, who you want to pronounce things correctly. I'm okay with English Rs in Esperanto, but if "akvo" gets pronounced like "ekvo" and "maljunulo" like "meljunulo", something is wrong.
Oh. It seems to be just the first one. The second and third ones, at least, are fine.

Ding dong the witch is dead.
Seriously though, Taurus, deleting your Twitter account is the best thing you've ever done. Ever.
Don't stop now! This was a step in the right direction, but it's not quite enough. Why stop with your Twitter when you could also stop producing music? Or stop leaving the house? You could turn into a hermit, Taurus.
Do you have any idea how happy everyone would be if you completely cut off your connection to the rest of reality?
Who knows, maybe 5 years of being a hermit could help you reflect on the horrible things you've done and make you a better person.
It's doubtful.
But it could happen.
Good luck to you, Taurus.

Q: Count rows with same ID and Date <= CURDATE() How do I write a SQL query with two SELECT statements combined?
I have this table
+-----+--------------+----------------+
| ID  |     DATE     | other props... |
+=====+==============+
|  1  |  2015-01-02  |
+-----+--------------+
|  1  |  2015-02-03  |
+-----+--------------+
|  2  |  2015-03-16  |
+-----+--------------+
|  3  |  2015-02-01  |
+-----+--------------+
|  3  |  2016-05-14  |
+-----+--------------+

and want to count

*

*How many rows with the same ID exist

*How many of that rows date <= current date
Example Result:
+-----+-----------------+
| ID  | COUNT | expired |
+=====+=================+
|  1  |   2   |    2    |
+-----+-----------------+
|  2  |   1   |    0    |
+-----+-----------------+
|  3  |   2   |    1    |
+-----+-----------------+

I use these queries to achieve each of the tasks:
count rows:
SELECT `ID`, COUNT(*) AS `count`
FROM `table`
GROUP BY `ID`

count expired:
SELECT `ID`, COUNT(*) AS `expired`
FROM `table`
WHERE `DATE` <= CURDATE(
GROUP BY `ID`

A: You can use this query:
SELECT
  ID,
  COUNT(*) AS cnt,
  SUM(`date`<CURDATE()) AS expired
FROM
  tablename
GROUP BY
  ID

COUNT(*) will count all rows, while SUM() will count only expired rows (date<CURDATE() will be evaluated to 1 when the date is expired, and to 0 otherwise)
Please see a working fiddle here.

A: You can simply count records and sum expirations:
SELECT
  id,
  count(*),
  sum(date < CURRENT_DATE())
FROM expiration
GROUP BY id;

A: I tend to prefer JOINs on ranges for this kind of work:
SELECT id, COUNT(*) AS count, COUNT(expire) AS expired
FROM Ex
LEFT JOIN (SELECT CAST('2015-02-15' AS DATE) AS expire) T
       ON T.expire >= date
GROUP BY id

SQL Fiddle Example
...will produce the results you're looking for.  Obviously, substitute CURRENT_DATE or a parameter in the actual code; a specific value was used here to preserve the example results.
(In theory, range queries of this form can be answered via index scan/probe, rather than requiring a scan of the underlying table rows.  However, I'm not sure if MySQL is smart enough to take advantage of this, or maybe any RDBMS...)

Nokia 3310 to Go on Sale in Europe Starting Next Week, No Info on Availability in India
By Rudradeep Biswas April 22nd, 2017 AT 4:06 PM
The Finnish smartphone brand, Nokia made a grand comeback with the launch of Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6, and the iconic Nokia 3310. However, global availability of the phones was pushed to Q2 2017. Various rumours appeared online claiming that the phone would be up for purchase by the end of May, but that seems to be changed now.
The iconic Nokia 3310 is listed on various European e-commerce sites. Surprisingly, the listing shows a different price tag than what it was actually launched for. HMD Global, at the MWC 2017, announced the phone's price as 49 Euro, but the listed price in slightly higher.
In Austria, the phone was listed for 59 Euro and will be sold from April 28. However, some sites listed the phone for just 53 Euro to attract and some retailers even recorded it for the base price.
The phone is listed for 58 Euro in Germany, and a customer can purchase it from April 28. Furthermore, several Swedish retailers listed an unannounced 3G version of the feature phone for 93 Euro. That's a whopping price tag for a phone that has limitations. There's no official announcement on the existence of a 3G variant, though.
The price differences mentioned above could be for various reasons. For example, the taxes of German government are different, when compared to other countries.
The Indian pricing of the phone is still unknown, and the availability date is a mystery as well. Various speculations said that the Nokia 3310 would be sold ahead of other Nokia phones by April end. But, there' still no information regarding the same.
A latest rumour revealed that HMD is looking to sell the phones in India alongside other upcoming Nokia phones such as the Nokia 7, Nokia 8, and flagship Nokia 9.

Itching for a vacation? Listen to what the travel bloggers have to say!
You are exhausted from the back-breaking schedule of daily life and desperately need a 'break'. A touristy place which attracts a lot of crowd is a big no-no. How about a few days in the lap of nature, in a forest rest house in Karnataka? Or some other quaint little place in the hills, away from the crowd? The internet with its barrage of information could give you clues, but not all of it may be reliable. So how do you plan your trip? Coming to the rescue are travel bloggers whose honest, first-hand feedback you can count on to plan just the kind of vacation you need, and probably more.
The biggest USP of a travel blogger's post is that it's written by someone who has a passion for travelling. So a tiny cafe that serves some great food or authentic cuisine but is not advertised on travel brochures nor has a web presence, will make it to the blogger's post. Or a scenic and interesting place that is known to locals but not to tourists will probably have been mentioned in the blog. The result? You could have travelled to a well known destination and come back experiencing much more than others. Or explored a destination that many would have not even heard of.
Blogger N. Prasad of www.desitraveler.com for instance says that he likes to write on lesser known aspects of a place, along with other useful information like how to reach a place, where to stay, and the likes. "I like to list unique experiences that a tourist would otherwise miss. Also, since my focus is travel with family, I write about places that can be enjoyed by everyone," Prasad says.
With 440 blog posts till date, some of Prasad's popular posts have been on forest rest houses in Karnataka and one on Hyderabad to Nagarjuna Sagar dam. "For very remote places I try to put as much information as possible, like where to eat and where to stay. Sometimes I even suggest locations to take photographs from, like that of the evening aarti in Varanasi which can get crowded".
Readers, on their part, lap up all the 'reliable' information they can get, knowing fully well it has been based on first-hand experience. Some even seek help in planning their itinerary!
"Recently, blogger Saru Singhal approached me to help her plan a Melbourne trip and told me that my posts on the Melbourne series (http://www.myyatradiary.com/2015/06/planning-melbourne-itinerary-72-hours.html) had helped her a lot," says Arti Shah of www.myyatradiary.com.
"Over the years, many people have kept contacting me via email with queries about planning their trip. Just a few days back I got one enquiring about a place to stay while visiting ISKCON, Varanasi".
Sherwin Robello of www.TheLandOutThere.com has similar experience of happy readers. "One of our long term travellers had planned a solo backpacking trip to the temple town of Gokarna in Karnataka for five days. He called back to tell us that our information about Gokarna and the neighbouring beaches was spot on," Sherwin said.
Some like Paramvir Singh of www.theuntourists.com say that they take the effort to even share phone numbers of places to stay or visit over private email exchanges as and when a reader requests for it. "We had someone write to us about Todgarh (near Ajmer, Rajasthan), a little known place, after we blogged about it. So in a separate email we gave more information about the place and phone numbers—something we cannot share in a public forum without permission—and helped them plan their trip," Paramvir says.
Improvising based on readers' feedback is crucial to a successful blog. It keeps the platform interactive, like it should be, as well as throws up interesting ideas to make the blog more informative and popular. "We improvise based on our readers' feedback. In fact we will soon be adding videos to our articles so that travellers get a preview of the place," Sherwin says.
So next time you feel the itch of the travel bug, let the travel bloggers help take care of it. They have, after all, 'been there, done that'.
Nice collaborative matter from Indiblogger for Travel Blogger.However, this could have been more better formulated and extensive by including different spectrum of writer and travelers too 🙂 Hoping to be connected soon !

Distributor Telarus adopts new identity as Tradewinds
Officially launches in the local market

Newly minted distributor in the trans-Tasman market place, Telarus, has rebranded to Tradewinds in the Australian market.
The name change coincides with the distributor's official local launch taking place on 21 August with CEO Adam Edwards also in town.
The distributor made the first push into the local market after appointing former Westcon-Comstor executive and AGC Networks country manager, Tony Heywood, as head of channels across Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ).
The company ran a internal competition to help decide on the new Tradewinds name for Australia.
"It has been a long time in the making," said Edwards, when speaking to ARN. "We're a 16-year old company and we're taking the business international, because we believe the model we're running, really follows the pattern of cloud, which is digital distribution.
"When you don't have a physical product to distribute, a lot of the logistics go away, but what doesn't go away, are the relationships."
The US-based distributor hired Heywood to help ramp up its local business and has been increasing momentum in the market during the past six weeks, with 40 potential partners already earmarked.
Heywood's responsibilities encompass setting up a local version of the master agent, and pioneering the agency model concept, in which third-party cloud brokers are recruited, trained, and supported to advise clients on which cloud communications and/or infrastructure service is suitable.
"Australia is our first venture out of the US and we explored the market last year, bringing Tony on board in April and he's speaking with both service providers - IT cloud vendors and telcos - and prospective partners," Edwards said.

"It's a great start for us because we think our model will thrive in the Australian market."
The distributor, specifically focuses on cloud, contact centre and unified communications-as-a-service (UCaaS), with its portfolio including Rackspace, Nice inContact, RingCentral, fuze, OBT Anywhere and 8x8.
Key platinum partners include CenturyLink, Comcast Business, Five9 and Viasat, alongside other partners in the form of Telstra, Verizon Business, NTT Communications and Rackspace.
"Our referral and agency model is totally flexible in the type of partner that we can develop a relationship with and facilitate relationships for vendors," Heywood added.

"From a partner point of view, we'll build up Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, first and then we'll look to expand into New Zealand as well but we have to do justice to the vendors that have put our faith in us in the first place."
A couple of challenges Heywood said he faces was getting partners to believe in its model, which he explained they still maintain control of their customer environment, even though the vendor is providing a bill directly.
"The relationship with the customer is then based on trust and integrity rather than technology alone," he explained.
"A lot of partners have relationships with their end users based on their technical capability, as opposed to the commercial capability and what I'm seeing is that this model allows the partner to focus on three things: maximising customer revenue; minimising their customer costs and mitigating their risk."

Building cyber resilience – a partner action plan


We spend our days dutifully following the directions of signs; the hexagonal red STOP sign, the NO PARKING sig n, the ONE WAY sign, the DO NOT ENTER sign and the list goes on and on.
Yet, how many of us would "Honk if you Love Someone", "Don't be So Hard on Yourself" or my favourite, "Make Today Count"?
Massoud shared some of the emails that he received from strangers sharing how seeing his signs made a difference in their lives. People would purposefully drive along a stretch of the road, knowing that they would pass his sign and begin their day with a smile.
If a sign from a complete stranger can have such a powerful impact on one's life, imagine what receiving a sign from someone who knows you and cares about you would mean? We all know the feeling of receiving a positive text message or a #FF from a friend or loved one. One of the positive aspects of our technologically rich world is the ability to instantly reach out and connect with others. Yet, Adibpour did not go techno with his message, he simply took a marker and a large piece of cardboard. It was not how he shared it, but the fact that he saw a need to bring a smile into the lives of complete strangers.
Now imagine a school where each day everyone was greeted with a sign that gave them hope and inspiration for a positive day of learning?
What would that sign say?
When we think of metamorphosis, the most distinctive case is that of the butterfly as it transforms from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly. There is a story that is told of a child who, upon seeing a butterfly trying to escape the chrysalis and wanting to be helpful, cuts a hole so that the butterfly can easily emerge. The reality for that butterfly was that once he emerged, his wings were not properly formed and therefore he lived his life stumbling along, not able to fly.
The butterfly is conditioned to struggle as he works his way to escape the chrysalis. The struggle helps him to build strong wings so that he can reach his full potential and soar to great heights.
Although we can't always see the reason for our struggle and during our times of struggle we just want the pain, the suffering, the hurt to stop, once we survive the struggle, we find ourselves strong and ready to soar.
If we do not provide our students with challenges, with projects and tasks that will give them cause to re-examine what they are doing and to develop better strategies, then we are condemning them to a life of stumbling along. If we want our students to soar to great heights, we need to allow them to work hard, to transform themselves into life-long learners and then celebrate with them once they conquer those challenges.
As an educator, how have you transformed yourself this past school year? What has changed about how you meet the needs of your students, of yourself as a learner and as a colleague. What challenges have you overcome which have allowed you to soar?
