Day 284

I decided to go with a vintage bow for today. 

In case you're joining us late, allow me to recap the purpose of this blog. Nearly a year ago I decided to challenge myself to wearing a bow tie for 1,000 consecutive days. There were no rules placed on this challenge other than having to wear a bow tie for 1,000 consecutive days. This didn't have to be 1,000 different bow ties. This doesn't mean I wake up and go to sleep wearing a bow tie. I wear a bow tie when appropriate (not while I'm working out or in the shower) and I use it as a conversational piece to get me talking about what we're doing at our school in Bushwick, Brooklyn to close the achievement gap. This blog is a way of chronicling my self-imposed challenge.

From time to time I'll use this platform to share some insight into my life inside and outside of the classroom. I hope you enjoy!
