"You haven't taught until they have learned."– John Wooden
Sitting in a classroom during the first course for my Administrative Credential, I still clearly recall the moment when I first heard that quote. I had been
a classroom teacher for over ten years and yet I had not necessarily thought of or articulated teaching and learning through this lens. This quote and the
ensuing discussion I engaged in with my colleagues that evening, resonated with me so strongly that it forever changed and guided my vision of
education.
When I first began teaching over twenty years ago, I do not believe I had a clear idea of what my vision of education was. I was hungry for
knowledge myself and took every opportunity I could to attend professional development and implement new curriculum and instructional strategies.
During the early part of my career as a teacher, I developed a...show more content...
During this middle portion of my career, I continued focusing on data–based decision making and a strong instructional program, but I also began to
value the importance of collaboration, building relationships, and effective communication. I still led by example, but my leadership style began to
become more collaborative. As my quest for knowledge continued, and my desire to increase my sphere of influence grew, I decided to pursue a
Master's Degree in Educational Administration and Leadership. As I think back to that first evening, I realize that the John Wooden quote resonated so
strongly with me because those words clearly articulated the vision that I carried within myself as I continuously sought to improve my practice in

2. Personal Mission Statement
My personal mission is to graduate from high school with at least a 4.0 GPA and have a career in biology or the medical field. I want to talk more
often and build relationships with new people I meet. I want to be able to stay positive even when I experience failure and learn from it, to be able
to listen to criticism without fear, but with an open mind. I want myself to understand that there will be times where I would do something that I will
regret or something unfortunate will happen to me, and that I must accept it. I must close the door behind me if I want to open the door that will let
me continue forward. I need to learn that limits aren't something meant to stop me from fulfilling my ambitions, but for me to surpass. Although there
is a voice in my head telling me "No, there is no way I can accomplish anything, I'm too ignorant, I am too lazy, return to safety, etc." I know none of
these are true. I know that my strengths such as dedication, resilience, and hardworking personality will help me accomplish my aspirations.
Furthermore, I am an individual who will never give up, even if I am told unless I deem it impossible. I want to remind myself that I can complete
anything without any limits, if I put in the effort.
History[edit]
Rubingh's idea to create a new sport fusing the two disciplines, chess and boxing, originates from the 1992 comic Froid Г‰quateur–written by French
comic book artist Enki Bilal (born Enes BilaloviД‡)–that portrays a chessboxing world championship. In the comic book version, however, the
opponents fight an entire boxing match before they face each other in a game of chess. Finding this to be impractical, Rubingh developed the idea
further until it turned into the competitive sport that chessboxing is today with alternating rounds of chess and boxing and a detailed set of rules and
regulations.[4] An earlier version of combining chess and boxing was said to have taken place in a boxing club outside London in the late 1970s.
The Robinson brothers were in the habit of playing a round of chess against one another after a training session at their boxing club. However, no
direct correlation can be made between the Robinson brothers' chess playing and chessboxing.[5] The same goes
