Today’s Black History Month Quote comes courtesy of:  AHS Principal, Mike Hayes.

Mr. Hayes cites ultra athlete and best-selling author, David Goggins who said, "I’m haunted by my future goals, not my past failures. I’m haunted by what I may still become. I’m haunted by my own continued thirst for evolution...It's a lifelong quest for more knowledge, more courage, more humility, and more belief because when you summon the strength and discipline to live like that, the only thing limiting your horizons is you."

Mr. Hayes stated that this quote from Goggins’ second book entitled Never Finished reminds me to believe and to dream while living, learning and leading with self-awareness, humility and heart!

Thank you to Mr. Hayes for the insight!  We hope that these daily quotes and reflections not only help celebrate Black History month but also provide inspiration and inclusiveness within our school and community at-large!

Today’s Black History Month Quote comes courtesy of:  AHS SpanishTeacher, Mrs. Lauren Brancazio

Mrs. Brancazio cites Elizabeth Acevedo, an award-winning Afro-Latina poet and best-selling author who said: “But one thing I learned from the Saints, when the crossroads are open to you, you must decide a path. I will not stand still while the world makes my choices.”

Mrs. Brancazio stated that I think this quote is saying to take an active role in your life’s path.  Don’t just be a passive observer.  Rather, be an active participant.  You have to do what is in your control to do to live your best life.  If you just let life happen to you, maybe you are existing, but are you really living life to the fullest?

Thank you to Mrs. Brancazio for the great insight!  We hope that these daily quotes and reflections not only help celebrate Black History month but also provide inspiration and inclusiveness within our school and community at-large!

Today’s Black History Month Quote comes courtesy of:  AHS Science Teacher, Mr. Brian Pichola

Mr. Pichola cites poet Langston Hughes who said: 

"Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

 

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow."

Mr. Pichola stated that Langston Hughes is one of his favorite poets and that one of his music professors in college set some Hughes’ pieces to music in a jazz style that they got to sing leading to him falling in love with Langston Hughes’ works. 

Thank you to Mr. Pichola for the great insight!  We hope that these daily quotes and reflections not only help celebrate Black History month but also provide inspiration and inclusiveness within our school and community at-large!
