Reflection through blogging has been the best thing I’ve ever done in my career. To those who encouraged me to start my own professional portfolio, THANK YOU.

Near and far, my network is strong. That doesn’t necessarily mean the quantity is prioritized, but rather that the quality of my human resources is more than I could have ever imagined. I look forward to learning and growing together in the future. To those with whom I’m extremely grateful to know in my professional networks, THANK YOU.

Finally, what I’m doing here isn’t my idea. In fact, I first saw Bill Ferriter recall his top reads at the end-of-the-year years ago, and I really like his concise, curated format. Therefore, I’m not only copying an idea from a truly inspirational educator, I’m very mindful to cite my sources. To those who hold me accountable to cite my sources, for example, and who speak the truth in love, THANK YOU.
