     After Rhonda is inspired by Ishy's suggestion at the shushi restaurant, She begins interviewing her colleagues about the vision for the sixth floor and how they feel that it is being maintained.  Rhonda's mission is to find her personal piece (IT) in the goal and how her IT relates to the other staff members' ideas.  Rhonda realizes that she must find ways to replace the dependency on external energy with the natural energy to maintain the vision.  David's Whyte's poetry inspires her to "begin a new life (energy ) at work and was feeling more confident in her position when a new administrator was employed and wanted to implement changes.  Rhonda seeks more advice from Ishy and forms a team of employees to take to the sushi restaurant for information on keeping the vision alive.  Ishy explains how important it is for each member of the team to find his/her (IT) in the vision through conversations and communication. 

     As a communication disorder teacher, I see my (IT) in East Central's mission to be the best place to learn as a provider of  materials, strategies ,and methods and a supporter to help "reach " the speech/language disordered children in the classroom and bring hope into a sometimes frustrating situation.  My role in our mission is also to help each child feel special and give him/her hope to communicate in an easier way. If we improve communication skills and bridge gaps between children and teachers, teachers and parents, and teachers and teachers, our vision will stay alive.
