In contemplating over the weekend about the final 4 weeks of the school year, and reflecting on the days, weeks, & quarters passed, I came to a realization.
As we struggle, so do we learn. It has been an amazing year, full of ups & downs, change & challenge. It is sometimes easy to focus on the missed opportunities, the mistakes, & perceived failures of the past. I believe this goes for students as well. So, in my attempt to reframe my thoughts around failure I came across some inspirational quotes & thought I'd share them. So, beginning with my own attempt, here they are.
Here's to a GREAT finish to a remarkable school year!
