The Eagle

Hey folks! I have to do an assignment for one of my teaching courses. So... that’s why this post is a little different.

The reason I want to be a teacher is simple. I want to help enable kids to reach their potential. I want them to realize that they can do amazing things. I want to help give them the skills they need in order to overcome hard things in life. I do not want them to be afraid to try new things, to be themselves, or to reach for the sky. It is important to enable students!

The Eagle

Leotha Wade Slagowski

You are an Eagle, son,

spread your proud wings

and fly!

The sky is yours!

Be not afraid

to rise above the crowd

and soar

beyond the cloud.

So many things

would hold you

to the ground,

but oh, my son,

Eagles were not

meant to be

earthbound.

Let sparrows dart

from tree to tree

or peck at dirt

the whole day through -

the stars on high

beckon you.

You are an Eagle, son,

spread your proud wings

and fly!
