Pur Sang

The "A. Word. A. Day" for today was pur sang (pyoor san), a French word which means something or someone who is genuine. It is my hope that Esperanza will be filled with educators who are "pur sang" and who are people of excellence and integrity. To me these qualities are more important than a list of skills for skills can be taught.

James Allen said, "We do not attract what we want, But what we are." If these words are true, and I believe they are, the leaders of Esperanza must set the example of genuiness, excellence, and integrity. If we can desire and work to be these kind of people, like minded people will want to join us.

Only then-- when we have a school filled with educators and staff members who are genuine, excellent, and have integrity-- can we have the greatest influence on our Esperanza scholars.
