Stay positive,my friends.

Another thing I've learned is that a leader stays positive when things are going the other direction. The last few days have showed me that this is beyond true. I am a high school band director in a small rural school and we are preparing for state contest. This time of year for most schools is crazy, but between FFA, baseball, track, BPA, and other random stuff, I'm lucky to see every kid in rehearsal more than once a week. In the last week, I've had a junior tell me that he may be taking all of his classes at the near by community college next year. Normally, I would have went all panic attack and upset but I remembered to stay positive. Ended up being in the right mind set for the next rehearsal and it was maybe the best one of the year, and on a Monday no less. It is exciting when you see growth as a leader and a person like that, but remember; taking that challenge generally means there will be challenges that come along(usually pretty quickly.) Stay positive and useband think of these challenges as opportunities and you will take them on, see them better from a leader's perspective, continue to grow, and therefore give yourself more to put into others.
