Of all the great things Emily had to say, I think I liked best when she said that after the 6th grade parent-teacher conference she decided then and there to make better choices.
Caring adults can suggest things to us, but ultimately each individual is in charge of making good choices. Every girl either makes choices that lead her to a place in life she wants to go or....not.
I loved hearing Emily talk about her time at the Middle School. I admire the fact that she found things that she was passionate about like music and drama to help her through. Isn't it great that she was able to find the things in life that made her happy and do them and not worry about what other people might think? I can't wait to go see her and the rest of the roller girls at their first game!
Usually when im in a bullying situation i think about what i can do to help solve the problem. And then i use the peace builders pledge seek wise people to help:)

ReplyDeleteOver the weekend, I wondered if peacebuilders would have been helpful to Emily and her classmates when she was in school.
ReplyDeleteUltimately, students choose how they treat other students, but I'm glad that peacebuilder language is discussed at NMS.
