A day late, but worth remembering: 14 years ago I earned my EdD from @teacherscollege.bsky.social @columbiauniversity.bsky.social. I doubted I belonged—imposter syndrome is real—but learned belonging isn’t given; it’s claimed through persistence, purpose & community. @columbiaalumni.bsky.social

Last night it was Mariano Duncan: “We play today. We win today. Das it.” ⚾️

Tonight it’s the late, great Freddy Sez. His sign said it best: “Win Yankees! Do it again!” 🔔🍳🥄

The message is simple — one game at a time @yankees.com.
