We're all winners

Many problems in school will begin with a low self-concept. Believing he's a winner prepares the stage for a lifetime of achievement.

As a school counselor for many years, I have found that many problems in the spring of youth from low self-concept. Often this low self-image for the student becomes self-fulfilling. By not believing in their own ability and dignity, the student hopes to achieve little and, consequently, exerts little effort. Assignments not completed or done hastily and carelessly. How do we as educators wish that all students could face the Living and learning with little prospect of Kelly:

Each of our children has enriched us in ways never dreamed of. Through their eyes, Kelly showed us the joy and excitement of being alive. Insofar as we have known, each day was for her as the Fourth of July. Every morning he woke up,

Perhaps the most exciting moments of childhood occurred when she was four. Then she brought one of his typical, amazing views. NOVA would telecast a special program called remarkable "the miracle of birth." Color photography through micro-program would have the public through a real experience of the design and subsequent stages of pregnancy until the birth of a child. The show seemed an extraordinary opportunity we invite children to stay at nine. Jen was six, nine years Sean and Kathleen was ten. It would be the early version poultry birds and bees. Their stomachs are lined up in front of the television, ready to be delighted with anything as long as defeat meant the Sandman. And a memorable experience for us started.

With a short introduction for us and a nice, simple introduction by the narrator, the show began. The camera focused on the woman's egg was suspended as a moon in his body, pending the appearance of stars. And it seems they did, in a torrent of sperm hundreds of thousands of microscopic sperm, like miniature tadpoles, compared to the races. The narrator explained that the unit of each sperm carrying within it genetic package ever and mating, was to get to the first egg and penetrate it. Once that was done, eggshell hardens and not support others. Four pairs of young eyes were glued to the screen.

The children were in a race and began to pick favorites. We were watching the runners with a wide range of instinctive power and talent. Some swam lazily in circles, other side, and a few seemed to be returning to the departure gate. They left clear that it was his first day out. For the sake of all generations to come, was just as well that none of them would. But many others were committed to the egg. They were where children had their money and were cheering them to victory.

Then suddenly five or six of them reached the egg and started head banging to the entrance. A Shell eased site and one was in the cover immediately hardened and slightly tapered other tadpoles in vain. Immediately cells began to multiply geometrically and were en route to a baby. The film went through all stages miraculous pregnancy and the birth of a beautiful child nine months later. Do not talk much about what he saw, but we all knew we had seen a very special event.

Early the next morning when I was preparing breakfast, I heard little feet running down the stairs and broke Kelly in the kitchen. His eyes were burning and spraying was to begin a sentence. Then there is the issue:

Dad. . . You know what happened last night?
Yes, I know, I said.
He had happen to me?
Yes, I said, did.
WOW!! It happened to you?
Yes, I said, he did.
W-OOOW! I happened to Mom?
Yes, "I said. She did.
WOW! It happened to Kathleen and Sean and Jen?
Yes, I said. She did.

He was beside himself with excitement. I took his hand in his two and said, "You know what does that mean, Dad? You know what that means? It means we're all winners! "*
