-Viola Davis

Finding a sense of meaning to life gives you a sense of place. When you have found your purpose, it is easier to know where you belong.

Coach Tavia,
Once again your words of advice are on time and hit me where it was needed. I often stop and ask myself why I do what I do. As an educator I lifted myself out of the classroom regiment and found my role and lane as an in-class/out of class tutor to meet the needs of students and to make my heart smile. In addition, my mark as an alum of Syracuse University, increased its purpose and my passion by continuously reaching out remotely to alums nationally and internationally with my Friday Happy Hour and Sat.Eve. Dance Jam on Facebook.
So in answering your above questions...stopping, thinking, realizing, the Who? the What? the Why?
* What’s your contribution…
