Congrats Wakili – A few thoughts 💭

—RETIRE— 

R: Really a Seinfeld episode?! 🤣 When I got off a rough, disorienting plane ride to the Rochester International Airport, I went up to one of the taxi drivers and gave him a $20 bill and said take me to the Fairfield Inn. Unbeknownst to me, it was a 30 second ride! The assistant at the front desk said don’t tell me you got caught in the ‘Fairfield trap!’ I said yes. Today, I walked to the airport to catch my flight ✈️ back to Florida. 🤣  

E: Enter your new role from principal mentoring  opportunities in your new classroom of life… I’m happy 😊 for you and your beautiful family…  

T: Time is flying by…Over 30 years as an educator…You made a HUGE, positive impact on thousands of students, teachers, parents and community members. 

I: Impact your classroom of life or sphere of influence with positivity, a passion for life and purpose to change lives! 

R: ‘Real friends are rare’: Wakili and I were rivals on the basketball 🏀 court from 5th-8th grade… Since 9th grade at McQuaid HS, we have been close friends for 45 years…Grateful for you!!!  

E: Make everyday count: “You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you."-John Wooden- The Legendary UCLA Basketball Coach-
