Life Preserver

Together we flounder in a wide sea- struggling to keep our heads above water. But then, through connection, someone throws us a life preserver and we hang on for dear life. After a while a boat comes along and we all climb aboard. And soon we're all rowing together - stronger and more purposeful.

That is what the peer mentoring project has done for me - connecting me with a partner who was my life preserver, then integrating me into a group of inspiring educators, who support each other without question and that is a gift. Imagine the possibilities of pods of educators around the Province, gaining strength with each new group member. Realizing that we are not alone and that we share the same struggles. Wouldn't it be wonderful if every educator had this opportunity - and imagine the  effect this would have on recruitment and retention. I certain hope this is the case.

Walking in the Forest

A path through the trees

I am excited about being part of this project and happy with the way the facilitators paired us up. To me, walking in the forest is a metaphor for the development of this initiative. On one hand, it is beautiful and comforting and understood, and on the other hand, there are many paths with unknown and possibly challenging twists and turns! I am hopeful that it will enrich all of us.
