“The performance of your students is a portrait of your work. Are you willing to autograph the portrait?”
What a great reminder for all of us. As a cosmetologist, nail tech or esthetician, the quality of work can be seen through the client’s hair, skin or nails. But what about as an educator? The quality of our work is seen in our students. There is a great concept I’ve heard various people share before, “we aren’t successful until you are.” As an educator, that is so true. We aren’t successful until our students are. I realize that we may not reach 100% of our students, but we certainly want to try to reach the majority. Remember, they have your signature on them!
