Day 3 of motivation and lessons:
          Quote: C.S. Lewis – “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.”
          Bible verse: Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.”
          Story: Whenever I was in 7th grade we had this really creepy PE teacher. We will call him Coach H. So first off he would linger around the locker rooms as we got dressed for PE (also our female PE teachers didn’t let us shut the door for some reason). We all got creeped out and eventually learned that we had to go to the one corner where he couldn’t see us. Then he would also do the “rizzler” smile and creepy eyebrow raise at us. He also flirted with this really pretty teacher who was visibly uncomfortable with him. And there was much more but I’d be here all day just saying everything he did. But they refused to listen to us girls, but eventually he go reported so much by students and parents that he got fired.
          Lesson: stand up for yourself, listen to your gut

And sadly the farthest this story made it to was Facebook because our school is supposed to be “good”, so they didn’t want to draw attention on the news :(

Day 2 of motivation and lessons:
          Quote: Maya Angelou — “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
          Bible verse: Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
          Story: One time when I was in 6th grade, me and my friend were walking to the 7th grade hallway for one of our classes. A group of 8th graders were behind us and started laughing and touched my butt. My friend had to shove me into the crowd to get away from them. Sadly, I was too scared to tell an adult so the boys did not get punished.
          Lesson: stand up for yourself

Day one of motivation and lessons:
          Quote: C.S. Lewis — “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
          Bible verse: Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
          Story: My social studies teacher yelled at me in front of the whole hallway about an assignment that I was going to complete before her class. She screamed all of my personal info in the hallway and my other teachers had to defend me. I had everything written down but she would not let me defend myself. I was finally getting in a better mental space but then she destroyed it.
          Lessons: treat others the way you’d want to be treated, let people defend themselves, you never know what a person may be going through
