Even I myself do not have a complete grasp of how much the internet can affect our lives. Its reach is immense and it continues to disrupt every aspect of the human endeavor.

The call to tell your story is not a request to tell another generic narrative out there on the internet but a plea for vulnerability - to tell a story that is authentically and deeply yours.

The teacher today has a distinct advantage from every teacher in any other age. She has social media, one of the greatest communication tools ever created. 

But if you can show up every day telling your authentic stories here on the internet, anyone will see it and if it resonates they will connect with you.

If you want to really do something, announce it on Facebook. Tell your followers what you want to do and how you will do it.

Someone out there needs to hear you and learn from your lived-experiences. Someone needs to be inspired by your stories of adversity and success.
