Black History Month Spotlight

Brigadier General Sherian Cadoria (born 1943)

At one time, Brigadier General Sherian Cadoria was the highest-ranking black woman in the U.S. armed forces.  She credited her success in life and in Army to the high moral standards that she learned from her mother.  She said: “My mother is a woman with strong moral values.  Once my brother, sister, and I went shopping, and someone gave us a penny too much.  My mother made us walk the five miles back to town to return it.  She said that at least one of us should have known better, so all three were punished.  You don’t forget lessons like that.  I didn’t have problems in the military with discipline, because my mom really was a first sergeant.”

Can this also be said of teaching?

Erma Bombeck knew both the joys and sadness of having children. Some years ago she wrote, “I see children as kites.  You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground.  You run with them until you’re both breathless — they crash — they hit the rooftop — you patch and comfort, adjust and teach.  You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they’ll fly. Finally they are airborne: they need more string and you keep letting it out.  But with each twist of the ball of twine, there is a sadness that goes with joy.  The kite becomes more distant, and you know it won’t be long before that beautiful creature will snap the lifeline that binds you together and will soar as it is meant to soar, free and alone.  Only then do you know that you did your job.”
