I often think of the labels we bestow upon each other...hero, leader, expert, inspiration
And those we give to our students...smart, lazy, underachiever, confused, creative
And I wonder how often we miss the mark altogether?
How often does the label describe the whole person? How often do we truly know the whole person?
I do not do well with labels, and I laugh when others give them to me, but there are some I carry with me always, in awe that that I have them; mother, wife, teacher.
Those are the labels that matter
