Top Ten#219: The Readiness is All
Hi. I’m a high school English teacher in Southern California. I’ve taught for eighteen years… jeez. Before that I taught at in Lakewood and at a continuation high school in Bellflower. I love trying new things and challenging my students and my peers to try something new in their effort to be the best.
My blog title is from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet. Just before Hamlet goes to his certain doom he says:
“Not a whit, we defy augury. There is special providence in
the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it be not to
come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the
readiness is all. Since no man, of aught he leaves, knows what is’t
to leave betimes, let be.”
This quote inspires me as a teacher, a father, a coach, a husband, a human. All I can do is be prepared with a proper attitude and face the never ceasing future as it crashes into my present. I make choices and move against the current cause the struggle is where it’s at.
