Good afternoon! Please check out this amazing video below. I showed it to the kids today during our morning meeting in order to better help them understand our class motto this year, which is: "Success is not coming to you; you must come to it." The man in this video has no arms or legs and he talks about the importance of not giving up and trying "100 times if you have to." It really seemed to have an impact on the students and today after viewing and discussing the video I saw a change in their work ethic.
I would greatly appreciate it, if you would please leave a comment to further motivate the kids to try their best. I will share these comments in class to allow the kids a chance to see their parents' take on never giving up. Thanks for your support!
Dear mrs whitleys class. Please remember that you are a team and please support each other and your teacher. This video was so inspiring! We all have times when we feel we can't do something, we're frustrated, upset, but just remember to help each other out and always try your hardest. You are all superstars and each one of you has the potential to do great things!!!'
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing person! You are all amazing too. Remember that you can do anything if you just keep trying and don't give in to the "I can't" way of thinking. I can't wait to see what you all accomplish this year!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring story...thank you so much for sharing it. I hope that when any of you feel like giving up, you will remember this man. I know I will. Hope you kiddos have a great day! Mrs. Lossin
