Perseverence and Resilience
Every day we get out of bed and bravely show up not knowing what each day will bring. We see the images of what perfect looks like and know that we are not. But we are good enough as we are- unique, connected to people who love us and prepared to do our very best each day and that is enough.
In school, we praise those who put themselves on the line and risk getting it wrong because that is how we learn. We praise the courage of having a go when you are not sure rather than the answer. Be confident that your answer maybe wrong, but there is nothing wrong with you.
Know that you are valued and loved for being you.
