“All progress takes place outside of our comfort zone.” - Anonymous
Most inventions are designed to make life easier. Electricity simplified lighting, the telephone transformed communication, computers streamlined complex tasks, and the internet brought instant access to information. In my own lifetime, I’ve gone from sharing a party line (some of you might need to Google that) to carrying a phone in my pocket. We’ve progressed from conventional ovens to air fryers, an atlas to GPS apps, and encyclopedias to Google. This constant drive for efficiency has made nearly everything quicker and easier — but in the process, have we lost our resilience, determination and perseverance? Have we created a world where our kids miss out on learning how to improvise, adapt and overcome obstacles?
"Embrace the suck” is a saying originally made popular by the military during Operation Iraqi Freedom, capturing a truth about life’s challenges. At some point, everyone encounters responsibilities that are less than ideal. Not every job aligns with our dreams, and even dream jobs have tasks that can feel grueling. Personal growth requires us to face challenges head-on. Whether it’s pushing through tough workouts, dealing with difficult personalities, or tackling uncomfortable or exhausting tasks, we’re all presented with a choice. We can avoid these duties, building resistance, or we can choose to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
To parents, I would encourage this: let your children experience struggle and even failure. Let them wrestle with challenges without stepping in too soon. In trying to protect them, we sometimes mistake comfort and ease for true happiness. Yet, my most fulfilling moments were when I achieved something after failing more often than succeeding. School and life will have many uncomfortable moments. The sooner we get comfortable being uncomfortable, the sooner we’ll learn to overcome the obstacles ahead.

“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”
— Jacob Riis, Late 1800s
As I reflect on my accomplishments in athletics and education, I am reminded of the Stonecutter’s Credo. The pinnacle of my athletic career came with a National Championship in 1995, and in 2023, I was honored as District 11 Middle School Principal of the Year. What I’ve realized is that these successes were not the result of a single, defining moment. Rather, they were the culmination of countless daily efforts—like the stonecutter, each blow led me closer to breaking the rock. Success came after thousands of small efforts: thousands of hours in the gym, and thousands of decisions made as a principal.
In education, we may never see the full impact of our efforts. As teachers, we work with students for just a year, and they spend only a few years in our buildings. Our role is to plant seeds that will grow over time. We strive to inspire our students to become lifelong learners, teaching them how to learn through our daily actions. The Stonecutter’s Credo is deeply relevant in education—we, as educators, must pound the rock every single day.
The Stonecutter’s Credo also resonates with us as parents and guardians, especially during the middle school years. At this age, our children are still far from fully formed. Our goal is to guide them into becoming productive members of society, though we may not see the results for years. All we can do is pound the rock each day. By setting an example with our actions, establishing expectations, setting limits and boundaries, supporting their interests, and loving them unconditionally, we actively “parent.” Parenting is a verb—it requires daily action.
At Mt. Vernon Junior High, we’ve placed a rock, hammer, and chisel in our teachers' lounge as a reminder of the Stonecutter’s Credo. We want to pound the rock each day, knowing that each blow, though it may not crack the rock immediately, brings us closer to our goals. Together, we aim to inspire each other to be the best versions of ourselves, making a positive impact in our students’ lives through our daily actions.
