Reading the article‚ Thriving at School‚ was incredibly inspirational as a future teacher. I have heard amazing faith stories of teachers who would stay after school and pray for every student by walking past their locker. There have been teachers who pray for every student on their rosters. What a great way to reflect on the day that you have had or prepare for the day to come. Terri Trepanier states that‚ “Praying is the only thing I know to do to maintain my sanity and prepare myself to stand

Uncomfortable in Our Skin: the Body Image Report The Body Image Report by Eva Wiseman focuses mainly on body image and some factors that may affect it. A point Wiseman makes is about photo-shop and photo-shopped images.

Marianne Williamson’s piece on “Our Deepest Fear” is motivational. It motivates you to speak out and be yourself. Don’t be afraid to show the real you.
