I am a Possibility. I am a great big bundle of Potentiality.\u201d These are the words to a song that my Mum sang to me and taught me when I was growing up. Words that come to mind when I teach. Words that I want my students to believe. Words that are so true, yet sometimes so hard to believe. I have recently caught myself humming this song as I am in the classroom with the students. It is something that I want each and every one of them to hear, to believe and to live in. Each student is unique. Each student has great potential. I want them to dream\u2026to dream BIG, and to pursue the passions and desires that they have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As I was thinking about this for the kids, I realized that I too am a promise, a possibility, and that I have potential. But this is not something just for me or for the students\u2026this is true for everyone. \u201c[We are] fearfully and wonderfully made.\u201d I can walk with my head held high because I am loved with an unconditional and sacrificial love and because \u201cwhen I am weak He is strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, as you go throughout your day today know that You are a Promise; You are a Possibility; and You are a great big bundle of Potentiality! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Here is a link for the song: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zo98dekGMyE\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zo98dekGMyE<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_156\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-156\" class=\"size-full wp-image-156\" alt=\"I am a Promise\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mcregg.com\/hannahcregg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/I-am-a-promise.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcregg.com\/hannahcregg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/I-am-a-promise.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.mcregg.com\/hannahcregg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/I-am-a-promise-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mcregg.com\/hannahcregg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/I-am-a-promise-250x191.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.mcregg.com\/hannahcregg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/I-am-a-promise-390x300.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I Am A Promise!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI am a Promise.
