Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am teaching a leadership course, and with it we are learning about loving the process during the hard times, and that includes reading Chop Wood Carry Water. This is a book about learning to love the process of something, and not solely focusing on the destination. The reason for this is because what happens after we reach our goal? What happens if we don't reach our goal how should, and can we react? With this book I am going to be teaching my student leaders how to love the process we do. Along with how can we teach other students that we mentor to love the process of the high school with not just sports, but academics as well.
