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
