@BKRoberson2 We are human! We do fall down and get up!

It’s the smallest mistakes… When I created my T-TESS account years ago, I forgot to capitalize the first letter in my last name. And every year since… it’s remained lowercase. I’ve tried to fix it—again and again—but it never seems to change. But during my certification renewal, I paused and reflected… We all make mistakes. We all fall short. And sometimes, we even unintentionally shrink ourselves. But let me ask you this— Did that mistake change my name? Did it change how it’s pronounced? Did it change what I’ve been called, or what I’ve been certified to do? The simple answer is: No. So don’t beat yourself up over a mistake or a moment where you fell short. That’s what critics are there to do. Your job? Pick yourself up. Stand firm. And as the Word reminds us—be an example for the believers. Carry out the assignment that has been placed on your life. I didn’t expect to find motivation while renewing an educator appraisal certification… but I did. Because one word stood out: Renewal. And that’s where we are right now. It’s renewal season, y’all. Pick yourself up. Keep going.

Barbara McClintock almost didn’t go to college. She was a talented student, but her mother believed a degree would harm her chances of marriage and vetoed her plan to study. Luckily, her father intervened and McClintock was able to attend the Cornell College of Agriculture, where she took the course that would change her life: genetics. It kickstarted her interest in the field of cytogenetics – the study of chromosomes and their genetic expression. McClintock began to study the mosaic colour patterns of maize at the genetic level. She showed that parts of the corn's genetic code can shift from one place to another within its chromosomes. These so-called 'jumping genes' explain why corn kernels have different colours. When she presented her findings - which departed from common wisdom - at a symposium, members of the audience were perplexed or hostile. As a result, McClintock stopped publishing and lecturing, but she retained her self-belief. “I just knew I was right,” she said later. “Anybody who had had that evidence thrown at them with such abandon couldn’t help but come to the conclusions I did about it.” It took years for the scientific community to come to the same conclusions. McClintock was awarded the Nobel Prize in recognition of her work – even if she had to wait 30 years after making the discovery. Learn more: bit.ly/2I9qCxd
