Tracy Anderson, I love your response. I love that you want
to give yourself an A for doing an impossible job. I work in a school district
that was “taken over” by the state 21 years ago. No Child Left Behind was
legislation that was designed to fail and to bust unions and privatize our
schools with vouchers and charter schools. Working in systems that are designed
to fail… how did we get here?
I love that your perspective has been broadened and that you
collected your belongings and never looked back when your position was
eliminated. I especially love that you are living in yourself now and that you know that
opinions do not matter as much as your own opinion of yourself. There are great
things to maturing that enhance our knowledge of the world we exist in and
ourselves.
The best part? We are all a work in progress and I am
enjoying my journey and it seems like you are enjoying your journey as well.

Benjamin Zander flipped the script for sure with this
strategy. I think it is a novel idea to give myself an A. Yes, an A, for committing
12 years to an agency that was setup, by the state, to fail. I learned that the
overall mission of the public defender office is to protect the Constitutional
rights of citizens, nothing more and nothing less. Politics aside, the
Constitution protects the least and the best of us. I give myself an A
for having my perspective broadened in a way that helps me understand that
most, not all, but most people should not be defined by their worst act or
their worst day. I give myself an A for collecting my belongings and
never looking back the day I was told my position was eliminated. That was a
perfect day!
Personally, I give myself an A for overcoming the naysayers
that said you guys are too young to get married. I celebrate my 28th wedding
anniversary this July. It’s been a journey, but I give my husband an A as
well. I give myself an A for being the best parent I knew how to
be. I give myself an A for realizing that others’ opinions do not matter
as much as my own opinion of myself. I am a work in progress and I like
the possibilities in my own life.
