I was listening to a talk-radio show a while back and heard a phrase that struck me as something to focus on during this holiday season. The show was talking about tithing and a caller questioned the host about how to know for whom to do that. The host said that each person should become a "Needs Hunter." It is an interesting concept and one that each one of us could pursue, particularly when it comes to our students. By asking, "what needs exist that I have the ability to meet?" we can begin to better see those we can use our talents to help fulfill.
It is my belief that many of us do not either appreciate the great talents that we have to offer or are not sure what or how to offer those talents to help others. The concept of a "Needs Hunter" can help us focus the question on finding a need and filling it. Often in education, we look for others to solve the complex issues that exist in schools. If we all determined that we will hunt for those needs that we can fill and then go about doing so, our community, as well as the world, would be a better place.
