Monday

After notes we corrected 140-141. Then we learned about why it is important to first, stay away from drugs and alcohol and why. We stay off of drugs and alcohol because we have important work to do in our lives. It is harder to do that work if our minds aren't learning what they need to when they are young. Then we saw a story about a little boy, who through no fault of his own, developed leukemia. We watched his progress and talked about those who had gone to school, earned a good education, and were able to help this sweet little boy and his mother fight to overcome the disease. We do not go to school to get good grades. We go to school to get a good education, grades are designed to show if we are doing that. I hope the students took away the idea that they can make a difference in other people's lives if they will just stay with their education and work hard.
