In the past, I’ve shared with some of you about my Dad. Whether you’ve heard about him before or it’s your first time, today I’d like to share a little more…and I’ll get to “why” here shortly, but let me first tell you a little about him. My Dad is a soft-spoken, kind man, and he and my Mom raised my brother and me with a foundation built on faith and family (including friends who are like family). Kind of a random memory, but I remember nearly every day my Dad wore an old pair of blue jeans and he curiously always carried multiple pens in the pocket of his short-sleeved collared shirt, along with a calculator and a mini notebook (now that I think of it, there were no cell phones back then to easily calculate equations or make notes, so as a civil engineer, I guess that makes sense). My Dad didn’t say a lot (I got my “talking genes” from my Mom’s side), so when he spoke, we listened.
Nearly every day my Dad would say to my brother and me, “Tell me three good things.”
Some days, we were quick to tell Dad the lineup of our good things…however, on the rough days, the challenging days, the frustrating and disappointing days, listing “three good things” seemed like an annoying chore.
It was on those rough days that my Dad held our feet to the fire the most. When we wanted to vent our frustrations, Dad would listen, then follow with, “okay, now, what are your three good things?” He would patiently wait (I didn’t get his “patient genes'' either, unfortunately!).
Looking back, I’m sure grateful that he had us do that…because he instilled in my brother and me that in those rough moments, your outlook and how you respond really becomes your superpower.
Each of you (like me) have days when things go well…it may be that conversations with people were productive, you were able to help make someone else's day better, a supportive parent group brings delicious pizza to the faculty lounge for lunch…okay, you get my point. We also each have days or weeks that are rough…there’s a student who is going through a tough time and the solution to help isn’t clear, there’s a person who is making negative, personal comments about your school, or you may have something rough happening in your personal life, but you still get up every day and go to school because you love your students and know many of them are counting on you.
Regardless of your week, good or tough, my challenge to you today is to identify, “what are your three good things?”
One of the good things that keeps me energized week after week is seeing the impactful work happening in schools across Indiana. We have over 65,000 teachers serving over 1.13 million students at over 2,200 schools…and we must celebrate the good work happening!
Last week, I highlighted two Indiana high schools, and this week I’d like to highlight two more schools. Just before winter break, I had the opportunity to visit MSD of Martisville with President Pro Tem Rod Bray, including Brooklyn STEM Academy and Martinsville High School…and boy, did we have a great time!

NOTE: This picture was taken right before I beat Sen. Bray in a welding competition (I get my “competitive genes” from my Mom’s side too).
The student-led tours in Martinsville (Sen. Bray’s home district) underscored the opportunity that we must seize as educators to support students in finding their purpose, knowing their value, and understanding the possibilities for their life’s path. In order to do this, we must ensure students have opportunities to explore, engage, and experience a range of potential career options. While several students shared their plans for the future, one student in particular talked extensively about the computer science opportunities at Martinsville High School and how it helped to open her eyes to the possibilities ahead.
At every turn, we witnessed students who were actively engaged in their learning, working together to solve problems, thinking creatively, and ultimately, finding their unique purpose. Check out the video below to see more of the tour and the incredible students and educators we met along the way.
Thank you to Brooklyn STEM Academy and Martinsville High School for hosting Senator Bray and me! As we close out another week, let’s continue to focus on the good…remember, regardless of what is happening around us, our outlook and how we respond really becomes our superpower. Let’s continue to share our success stories, and most importantly, let’s continue to lead good work for our students!
