Dear Student

Dear Student,

Here's to a new school year! And as you hit the ground running may I remind you of some things.

YOU are important. YOU matter. YOU are beautiful and smart and YOU have what it takes to be successful in all things. 

As you embark on this new journey, may you remember that you only have to be who God created you to be. Nothing more. Nothing less. And He has created a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in you! 

Can I also ask of you this… Be kind to others. Everyone is facing some sort of battle. And we get to choose every day to make positive deposits into the world. 

Avoid drama and gossip at all costs. If it's not true, helpful, inspiring, necessarily, or kind, perhaps it shouldn't be said. 

Forgive others quickly for their mess-ups and remember God's amazing grace given so freely to us when we mess up. 

Listen to each other. Really listen. Learn about each other and invest in relationships that can last a lifetime! 

Protect your individuality and pay zero attention to those who think poorly of you. Turn rejection and failure into fuel that will only make you better. 

When you're wrong, apologize. When you're joyful, spread it like wildfire. And in all circumstances, look for ways to be good, do good, and serve others. 

You have the ability within you to be the best version of yourself you can be. Don't waste it. Life is fleeting! 

YOU can make a difference in this world and YOU are amazing! Here's to an awesome school year!

<3
