Queen of Katwe

I found myself in tears, midway through Queen of Katwe.

I have been so discontent at work this week, but the film brought me back to what it means to be an educator and a mentor.

There are several kids at school with whom I have very meaningful interactions.  They make the job worth it, even when I'm dreaming of other things.

The film also reminded me of how my success has come from the sacrifice of others--my mother, and her mother before her.  How can I give back to them?

Food for thought, but for now, my body is ready for bed, and so I will lay my head down on my pillow….and sleep.
