Two years ago I attended the Model School's Conference in Honolulu. I came away with many great ideas about Educational Reform and one quote stayed with me, "Leadership is not about position, it's about action, lead from any chair." This quotation came to mind as I watched video and read about the amazing Chilean rescue. I found this article especially inspiring!

The Chilean Shift Captain had a no-fear attitude and served as a role model for his men. He was already in a leadership position and in the face of huge diversity he stepped up to the plate and lead his men to a life and freedom that few thought possible. I can't imagine the strength it took for him to decide to go this route under such adversity and would love to meet him in person. His charisma must be amazing!!!
Today I congratulate Chile and from this heroic story take so many lessons I hope to apply in life and in my career as an educator and mentor.
