Guidance Message
Words of the Month: Honesty and Patience
Week of May 22:
May 24: Phrase of the Day: “Have patience with all things, especially with yourself.” It is important to be patient with ourselves when something is difficult, or when we make a mistake. We need to remind ourselves that everyone makes mistakes and they are for learning. Peacemaker Challenge: Be patient with yourself, next time you make a mistake. Erase your mistake and try again. Remind yourself that things are hard when we are first learning them, but they get easier, if we just keep trying.
