Commitment

Tomorrow morning a mother will walk into her little girl's room and nudge her gently until she hops out of bed. The little girl will put on her shoes and dress, slide on her princess backpack, and board the school bus. She'll turn in her homework and smile when her teachers says, "Good job!", knowing she's committed to doing her best.

A few years from now that same girl, a little older, will roll out of bed, throw on some jeans and flip-flops and tote a slightly heavier backpack to class. She'll deliver her presentation on the latest theory of education and smile when she gets an A, committed to helping every child learn.

A few years after that the girl, now a woman, will wake up with her alarm and sip coffee while putting on black pants and comfortable shoes. She'll pick up a canvas tote bag full of graded papers and head to her classroom, committed to changing the world, one student at a time.

Even further down the road, the woman will wake up rubbing her swollen belly and listen to her husband sip coffee while getting ready for work. She'll get up and pour a bowl of cereal and skip the coffee, committed to making sure she has a healthy baby.

Nine months later, the new mother will wake to the sound of a crying little girl. She'll pick up the baby, not much heavier than her first princess backpack and rock her gently back to sleep.

She'll look into the little girl's eyes and realize that she's come full circle and that this is the greatest commitment she'll ever make. The commitment to teach another what commitment really means, how it affects everyone around you, and that it can change the world...one commitment at a time.
