There are others that are fighting the good fight with you and there are principals that will be on your side. In the end, this book will ignite the fire of grace that we should give our fellow educators on any given day. You never know someone's story or their struggles. We all have them. Imagine That! I'm a real person, with no-frills and no special accolades. I have just held many positions and been charged with many challenges in the field of Education. Everyone THINKS they really know what being an educator is because they had a teacher. Believe me, YOU ARE SO WRONG! My story may be somewhat the same as many principals around the world. But it's MY story. Everyone has one. Welcome into my world, I hope you enjoy the ride!
