I did my interview with Siah Pajibo. She is the Teacher of Record for 2nd and 3rd grade. This is Siah’s first year at our school, so I wanted to get her perspective from her viewpoint.
The most surprising thing that I learned from Siah was that choosing the best ethical practice is relative because ethics are moral principles that guide a person’s behavior. Just because she may think they are wrong does not mean that she is right. She believes that each employer should have a set of ethical standards that govern the workplace that help determines fairness and doing the right thing within the company.
One of the most important things I heard was that sometimes there are no grey areas when dealing with kids. A student can be great all year, but if they break the rules and because of the severity of the situation, you must give out the same punishment regardless of whether the student has been good all year or not. It is about being fair even when they are kids. Teaching students ethical and moral practices early in life will help them become remarkable adults.
I will lead differently by not always thinking that someone else’s thinking is wrong just because it is different from mine, and I do not need to assume that my way is always the correct way either. There is more than one way to do things, and if they are ethically and morally right, we can come to a common ground or good.

I chose to talk with an instructor Boom operator that I look up to for many things. Not only does he know our job very well, but he is also a close friend. We work together every day on mission-related tasks. Greg and I had to make our conversation over facetime because his wife had their baby a few days before talking.
The Most surprising thing Greg told me was that he feels I am ahead of my time and many others that work with us. He said the way I approach new tasks regardless of whether they will be difficult or not is different than everyone else. I step up when no one else does and perform well under pressure. It was surprising because I view others ahead of me, but I have a hard time giving myself credit when it is due. I always strive to do better and like new challenges.
The most important thing Greg told me was to get ready for our new Booms coming back from training. They're going to need a leader, and you're the closest to their age. That it will help you relate and instruct them on what to do, he viewed me as a great instructor and gave me advice on what to do and what the most common mistakes are by new Booms.
A new technique that I want to use in my leading style is something Greg does very well. When someone says they have an issue or problem, he takes the time to talk with them and ask them how they would fix it? Most of the time, those people are caught off guard and don't have a response in mind. That is where is Greg does best. He asks questions that help them develop an idea of their own that usually helps fix whatever is needed. I want to be like that. He is great at leading, and by asking the questions, he does. Lets others feel that their idea or new ways of doing something is important.

I
did
my
interview
with
Siah
Pajibo.
She
is
the
Teacher
of
Record
for
2nd
and
3rd
grade.
This
is
Siah’s
first
year
at
our
school,
so
I
wanted
to
get
her
perspective
from
her
viewpoint.
The
most
surprising
thing
that
I
learned
from
Siah
was
that
choosing
the
best
ethical
practice
is
relative
because
ethics
are
moral
principles
that
gui
de
a
person’s
behavior.
Just
because
she
may
think
they
are
wrong
does
not
mean
that
she
is
right.
She
believes
that
each
employer
should
have
a
set
of
ethical
standards
that
govern
the
workplace
that
help
determines
fairness
and
doing
the
right
thing
with
in
the
company.
One
of
the
most
important
things
I
heard
was
that
sometimes
there
are
no
grey
areas
when
dealing
with
kids.
A
student
can
be
great
all
year,
but
if
they
break
the
rules
and
because
of
the
severity
of
the
situation,
you
must
give
out
the
sa
me
punishment
regardless
of
whether
the
student
has
been
good
all
year
or
not.
It
is
about
being
fair
even
when
they
are
kids.
Teaching
students
ethical
and
moral
practices
early
in
life
will
help
them
become
remarkable
adults.
I
will
lead
differently
by
not
always
thinking
that
someone
else’s
thinking
is
wrong
just
because
it
is
different
from
mine,
and
I
do
not
need
to
assume
that
my
way
is
always
the
correct
way
either.
There
is
more
than
one
way
to
do
things,
and
if
they
are
ethically
and
morally
righ
t,
we
can
come
to
a
common
ground
or
good.
