Strange profile picture, so you think. Well, this photograph is a metaphor for my life. This sidewalk is a bit uneven and weathered. It can be somewhat difficult to navigate. One has to be very careful not to trip and fall. Each "block" on this sidewalk represents a milestone. A milestone can be as simple as making it out the door in the morning. Most milestones, however, are a bit tougher to achieve--like serving on a school committee to address the achievement gap of our most vulnerable students.
Sure it would be easier to walk the path of a perfectly flat and flawless sidewalk. There are no hazards, nothing to watch out for, and no challenges. But the rewards for walking such a path are few.
Are you wondering where I photographed the beautiful sidewalk above? Follow me on twitter and you will find out.
