Hi Parents,
Pablo Picasso is quoted as saying: "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." This has been my life mission for the past 31 years as a school teacher and I would love your help in achieving it this semester with your own child. Could you please take a moment and fill out the following survey about your child:
You may even share it with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and others who know your child well. The point is to speak life and truth into them that will give them insight into their gifts. I am asking them to do the same next week. I find it very impactful when they read what you write in class so I will be printing your response and giving it to them.
On Friday, October 15 they will be meeting with a professional career coach who will consult with them about staring their own business in my class. I hope it will be a very meaningful time for them and the consultant. Of course you are their primary consultant and will have the largest role to play in their life and what business they are to pursue as a 13 year old student.
Again, thank you for taking the time to participate in this assignment and I am looking forward to giving you more updates as the class continues.
Rod
