Experience over Observation

Today's Action: Growth

Last week my summer job started and I have spent the last two weeks talking to the girls about confidence, friendship and respect. On Tuesday (after a fight almost broke out in my classroom) I realized that I am trying to talk them through lessons they have to learn with experience. Now by no means was I tolerating the foolishness that they involve themselves in as a teen, however I do remember my parents, and older family members telling me to ignore issues in school, and that gossip and rumors were not important.

But it wasn't until I had to face these things that I learned that what people were trying to tell made sense. Hindsight I guess....

Over the years, I have lost friends, fought and tried to make others see my true self... But the older I get the more I understand that I can't control what others do, say or feel. So I am me, take the information in and do with it what you will!

What matters most is want you think of yourself...
