When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. ― Steve Maraboli

Didn't get much of my paperwork done, but had some great conversations with some awesome kids and parents. Together, we can hopefully give the student an awesome school year experience! :) Have a great long weekend!

Today's the sixth annual Spread the Word to End the Word Day, dedicated to raising awareness about an insulting word—and respect for people with intellectual disability. Started by the Special Olympics, the campaign is on the surface about why the word "retard" perpetuates negative stereotypes of people with ID but at heart, it's about consideration.
