true to who you are==Kirby's strength

[DawgHammarskjold]

I constantly tell new coaches/teachers to be true to who they are, because kids sense very quickly when they're trying to be something other than who they are. And when they do accept who they are and act as such, the kids respect that, and things in the classroom go much more smoothly. We aren't all teachers, of course, but we do all have the choice to act according to our authentic nature or act in some other ways--and when we finally accept our authentic nature and live it fully and passionately, then we open the doors for good things to happen in our lives--- But not until then.
