I want to send a shout out to our 9th grade math teacher who is all over her AM 1 class holding them accountable. Students, if you don’t do homework, you don’t pass. Step it up and do your job. I cannot back you up, nor will I try, when you are not doing your part.
One thing I appreciated growing up from my dad was the morning greeting he gave me every day as a kid. He was always up earlier than me, but when I got up he’d greet me with enthusiasm. He always acted upbeat and positive and set the tone for the whole family. I never once heard him complaining or talking about how he dreaded going to work. No, it was just the opposite, he knew that the first hours of the day are key setting the correct tone of victory and success and allow them to echo throughout the day. Let’s remember that we can set the tone realizing today will never happen again. Let’s not waste it with a weak, feeble, and false start.
One of the things I taught my own kids was that when I ask them how they feel, they always respond with a resounding, “great.” If you force yourself to think it, you can then let it take root until it becomes natural. I ‘m not saying we lie and don’t talk about our true feelings, but I am saying that something happens on the inside when we start to talk about how great we feel.
