Enthusiasm

Lack of enthusiasm an be found anywhere, everywhere. My step son has a masters in Ag Business, finishing his 3 rd year teaching High School, and one of the FFA advisors. He is paid very well, and spends maybe an extra 15 hours each week with the FFA kids. I know some reading this do not have a good understanding of FFA so I will explain a little. Future Farmer of America. That is the title , but it goes well past the livestock projects, the livestock judging teams, etc. There is competition for public speaking, business models, conservation, lots that is about leadership, not all 100% ag related.
Well the son in law is done. Last year teaching. No more working 60 hours a week, many weekends.
The kid is competitive. In HS he had the livestock projects, worked to be competitive with what he had to work with. He got up at 5 am every day, and spent the time, he did the work to be a winner. He did the public speaking competitions and all the rest. He wanted to be a winner. He was driven to win, to try his best to be the best he could be. .... win or lose.
He has enthusiasm. Or had. He finds NO desire from his pupils to excel, to work to be their best, nothing from the administration. The others teachers go thru the motions and do their job and get their pay check.
He will find a career elsewhere, where his desire to achieve is possible, and his enthusiasm for his choosen field will fuel his love of life!!
