2022Day068: Never give up on a kid. Always believe in them. I had one of my toughest kids this week walk in class and say "Mr. Robinson, I just want to bragg about you." Then he chuckled and said "you always say that to me". At that moment I knew he was going to be alright...
2022Day067: Don't fear challenges in life. Four years ago, I took on a crazy task of taking an Art Teacher job mid year with a bunch of krayzee kids who probably thought nobody believed in them. But I promised them we were going to shine and we’d force people to start respecting our art program...
2022Day065: Sometimes you get discouraged when your dedicated to positive movements and actions. It's not a popular thing and hard to find support in many cases. It's not a path for the average person. It's guarunteed to get tough at some point, but you have to stay motivated and just keep doing what you’re doing...
2022Day055: Freedom is essential to a true creator. I love the feeling of coming up with a "what if?" idea and taking the next step to "why not?". I look back at all the greatest creative minds recorded in history and I can just feel how many people doubted their ideas, but after that "what if?" and fighting through everyone else's negative thoughts, they probably said "why not?". The moment when the freedom is unlocked is when you stop worrying about what everyone else has to say and you just have fun creating.
2022Day052: Do what you love, no matter what it takes or how long it takes to get to it. A FB memory popped up from 2012 and reminded me of what I’ve been through and where I’m aiming to go. So when I reach success, and I haven’t reached it yet, you won’t think it’s some instant thing. I’ve been working at it...
2022Day047: Make the choice to feel good every day. This is what I choose and I know others disagree and feel like when it's a "bad day", it's a bad day. I just can't subscribe to that. I tell my students they may never know if I had a rough morning or bad day, because I make the choice to come in, feel good and treat them with the same love Every day...
2022Day046: In my family, we "Teach Them Young". We make sure that every kid in our family has an opportunity to learn the same skills we have at an early age and have the ability to take that knowledge and skill further if they choose. I've completed many murals for clients and have always brought the kids in on the job...
