The Great Ones Go One More Round:What does “one more round” mean to you?What do you do (or could you do) to leave your school and those around you better than you found it/them?
"One more round" is about persevering and being there for students, especially those facing tough times. As a high school teacher, it means being a constant support and positive influence, even when tired and overwhelmed. Whether it's finding new ways to teach, checking in on students, or lending a helping hand to colleagues, these small actions can make a big difference. By sharing my passions and staying persistent, I hope to inspire students to keep moving forward. In the end, "one more round" is about pushing through the adversity to make a positive impact where everyone feels valued and encouraged.
ONE MORE ROUND--Do not give up on the work or yourself. If I say just one more round, I have things to complete and I am not finished with them yet. Each day at school is different and if I can leave one day and say the next day is another round and start fresh, that is helpful. What is done is done, but what is yet to come is unknown so don't throw things away just because today did not go as expected. Life throws the curves and we may take a swing and miss and that may happen many times before we get a hit. Finding new ways to connect, teach, inspire is challenging. But I must stay persistent as I love these kids and want them to be their best.

Going one more round to me simply not giving up. It means no matter how challenging and defeating something may be, you keep going until you consider it your success. I think when tasks or days are draining it is challenging to not just give the minimum to get through it and make tomorrow a better day. It is important to go the extra mile to get "one more round." I think it is important to teach students to not just do the minimum to get by somedays, even if that feels like the easy thing to do. We need to encourage them (and model for them) that going one more round should be happening every single day.
I believe that what is meant by “going one more round” simply means not giving up. Of course, things are going to be challenging, but it’s how we face adversity and don’t quit that the author is telling us really matters. Our willingness to keep going, to keep learning and improving, knowing we do not have to be and won’t be perfect is important. In my work, as a School Counselor, it means to me that I am leaving the students and families in a place with empathy, support and resources that help them and hopefully leave them in a place that will be better for them than when they came to me. It also means supporting my students, families and co-workers in ways that help them feel seen and valuable. Lastly, it means continuing to work on myself personally and professionally so that I am best prepared to show up and give back. As a School Counselor and adult, I can model this by showing what it looks like to persevere and demonstrating that it is okay to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them and work towards improvement.
'Go one more round" to me means pushing past the limits set to achieve more. It's about grit, perseverance, and overcoming the mental barrier that says you can't do more and building confidence in your ability to handle the hardships. As a substitute teacher, I feel I foster a positive, safe environment by building rapport with students. Nothing makes me happier when students walk in and see me and say ' YES! I love when you sub...."
"To go one more round" means to me is not throwing in the towel when the day is not going well. Going one more round is about going through life with integrity and character. Those days that set you back will inspire you to get back up with a plan so your dreams will come true. I would also like to help my students and fellow educators to also keep going one more round which would improve my school and community.
