Lansdowne, PA – November 6, 2025
Congratulations to Mr. William Kosinski, social studies teacher at Penn Wood Middle School, who is the winner of the Season 3, Episode 2 contest for What Do You Say? With Dr. Eric J.
This month, listeners were asked: “What is one small effort you do every day that helps you succeed?” A winner was selected at random to receive a $10 gift card to get some delicious treats at My Old Place Bakery in Lansdowne.
Thank you to everyone who shared thoughtful responses. A few themes emerged from the entries:
- Handwriting daily to-do lists and enjoying checking items off
- Listening to something uplifting or motivating each day
- Staying organized by keeping a calendar or schedule
- Remembering your “why” when things get challenging
- Preparing for the day ahead by waking up early, stretching, or organizing materials
- Committing to showing up and giving your best effort
- Practicing empathy by imagining yourself in another person’s place
- Reflecting at the end of the day on what went well and what could improve
- Making the bed in the morning to set a purposeful tone for the day
These small actions, taken consistently, reflect what many value: being intentional, being prepared, and staying connected to our purpose.
We encourage you to listen to the episode and tune in each month as What Do You Say? With Dr. Eric J. continues to highlight voices and stories from across the William Penn School District.
