Someday right this moment (December 6, 2024) my web site will attain fairly a milestone…1,000,000 hits. Unimaginable. I simply needed to make a fast publish to thank all of you who’ve, sooner or later throughout the previous 8 years, learn an article and maybe shared it with another person. It actually means the world to me.
From writing a visitor weblog publish for The Studying Scientists in October of 2016, to beginning this web site that very same month, to a ebook being revealed subsequent month (!!!), it has been a tremendous journey of studying and changing into a more practical trainer. Thanks a lot in your assist and dialog alongside the best way.
My good buddy, Brad Busch, not too long ago requested me if, after I began the weblog, I believed it might ever attain one million hits. The reply is a powerful no. I used to be only a highschool trainer in Alabama studying and writing and dealing via his ideas about educating and studying. I received’t lie, it’s been a labor of affection. Generally, the phrases simply move and writing is remarkably pleasurable; different occasions, it’s actual work. However, via all of it, I’ve met some unimaginable folks and had some pretty experiences. It has really opened up a world of alternatives. Every time I believe I’ve reached the apex of this journey, one other great alternative presents itself…like my first worldwide talking occasion (The Educating and Studying Summit) arising in February.
And it began out with one leap of religion. One tweet to The Studying Scientists adopted up by a DM the place I used to be requested if I needed to write down about my experiences within the classroom. Thank goodness I mentioned sure.
So, as soon as once more…thanks a lot for being part of this journey. The a million views of my web site is actually cool, however the folks I’ve met on social media, zoom chats, webinars, podcasts, and at conferences are the actual treasures. You may have added a lot to my skill to succeed in and train my college students and to my progress as an individual. Phrases are all I’ve…however they don’t appear to be sufficient to adequately thanks.
Right here’s to extra studying and one other million hits. : )
