Because of a couple of heart-wrenching conversations with some students yesterday, I am proclaiming that we use only LEDs on our campuses. I'm not on a going green energy saving kick. Just the opposite. I'm on a massive, rampant energy use kick. Imagine if our campuses in general and classes in particular were lit and lit with only LEDs. Oh, what's the LED the I'm talking about? Its "Love Every Day": LED! LED would energize and light you up, energize and light up others, energize and light up the classroom, energize and light up our campuses. That would be the greatest lesson we could pass on: unconditional respect, dignity, love for all; without any conditional ifs, ands, or buts, helping each and every person to thrive in their uniqueness, sacredness, nobility, and unique potential. Turn LED on, be dedicated and committed to keeping it on, persevere in keeping it on, and your heart will lighten up with amazement. Your face will shine a beaming smile. It is inflaming. It is inciting and enhancing. It is releasing, rousing, and exciting. It is transforming. It increases motivation, intensifies initiative, and strengthens vitality. Trust me. I use LED. I see its influence over and over and over again as it slowly and arduously fights against and drives back the restricting and confining darknesses.
If there is a limb around here, I'll go out on it--far out on it--and say that it increases the chances of achievement and success. Use LED and you will have a better chance of seeing how above average supposedly average people can be, how supposed ordinary people can climb to extraordinary heights. That no-strings-attached welcoming, believing, accepting, faithful, embracing, celebrating, caring, hopeful, supporting, encouraging, empathetic, sympathetic, thriving open-mindedness is the most brilliant, "shining on the hill" drawing and retaining card in our educational deck. LED is education at its strongest. It is education at its best! It is education at its most valued. It is education at its most valuable.
