Meet Me in the Middle: Chapter 1

Chapter 1 of Meet Me in the Middle touched upon the real emotional structure of one entering the field of education. The bit I found to be the most interesting was on page 2 where Wormeli instructs the reader to close their eyes and envision their own funeral and think of things they would like to be said about them. Wormeli suggests that we aspire to be that person that we want to be remembered as. This is wonderful advice and it is definitely a useful tool for reflecting on our own footprints that we will leave behind. Wormeli also called attention to the value of communication with others and especially stressed the importance of listening.
