I have taken a great deal of time to ponder the significance of my existence, evaluating the cause and effect of previous life experiences. Wondering is it nature or nurture that has made me how I am. From early childhood, school and sports friendships, family, love, marriage, fatherhood and faith all vital in creating who I am today. The classic questions of self reflection, who am I and am I who I am supposed to be? But I wasn't really getting anywhere. Those questions were just too grand and daunting.
As a Catholic high school teacher my classroom was a laboratory for development of the mind. As a coach, the sports field was the lab for the body. The third element to the Catholic educational formula is of course the ever illusive spirit. As a firm believer in the Socratic Method and the importance of knowing thyself I began each class period with quotations and questions that provoked thought and emotion. The positive impact and reception from the teenagers in my care urged me to continue to generate lessons of that type. Each time I spoke to my class, I found myself revealing and confessing more my life experiences. Each time the connection to the students grew more powerful. My spirit and the answers to my questions were emerging. From this came the concept of Significant Sentences. Producing a book of Significant Sentences is a fulfillment of a promise I made to my classes as well as myself. My message is simple, my passion is great, my words I hope significant.voir moins
