Playing as a Team
The following blog was written
by Cameron Park, a Math Teacher
at Jesse. C. Carson High School.
In addition to teaching, Mr. Park
coaches baseball.
Growing up, baseball is what
energized me. Walls could be crumbling
and if I stood on the pitcher’s mound,
those walls no longer existed. All that
existed in that moment was a victory.
A win. Not just for me, but for others.
I could only do my part to achieve
such a win. I threw the baseball. After
that moment, I could no longer rely
on my arm for strength; I relied on
the rest of my team. If the team did
not work together, no one would feel
that victory. Baseball taught me that
lesson; the importance of working
together as a team and it connects to
all aspects of life, especially our careers
as educators.
In order for our team to win, to see
students learn successfully, we have
to work together as a team. Everyone
is a teacher, but not everyone has
the same strengths. Some have great
ideas, some have great lessons, and
some have great organization. Some
have experience while some are new.
Some love technology, some hate it
and think it is the devil. Some are
introverts and some are extroverts.
We are all different, but when we
come together, we can make success
happen. We can achieve that victory.
Just as my baseball team, everyone
must understand the role they fulfill
as teachers. If a baseball team is full
of outfielders, no one can pitch or play
infield. If everyone is a pitcher, no one
can field the other positions. If all we
have is new teachers, we can’t learn
wisdom from veteran teachers. We
need everyone. Everyone matters.
We try to tell our students this
but actions speaks louder than
words. We can be the models for this.
Collaboration, working together, is a
selfless act to better students. If our
motto is “Students First,” shouldn’t we
be trying everything we can to improve
each other and ourselves? Shouldn’t
we be trying to help one another earn
a victory? Division amongst a school
can lead to destruction just like a lack
of team players will cause losses. If we
want Carson to be the best, we need to
fulfill our roles together selflessly. What
can I do to help? Can you help me? The
most successful teams are the teams
that unite together for one cause. Our
cause is to better our student’s lives.
So let us be united for our students,
school, and our community.
