For many Americans, the Memorial Day weekend is an opportunity to have a barbecue and celebrate the unofficial beginning of summer. For others, it serves as a somber reminder of what our way of life truly costs. In either case, it is important to note that while most living veterans and active duty service members welcome words and acts of appreciation for their service, this day is specifically to commemorate those who are not with us anymore.

As the discussion between my AP Lang students and me transpired, I witnessed their complete understanding of my overall objective for their learning. This brought me unspeakable joy, but it also illuminated significant heartbreak. My high school students clearly see what most adults leave unspoken.

What is something I'm good at?
What is the need?

I guess there is an app now for carline. We graduated to the MS/HS line before I needed this app. […]
Appreciate The Small Things. Whether it’s a teachable moment in class and a student sees success, or it’s on the soccer pitch for practice and your players are truly coming together and playing as a team, or at home while holding your little baby boy, rocking in the chair because he’s having a rough night sleeping. Be grateful for those times, no matter how big or small. Take a mental picture, and hold on to it for as long as you can.
The benefits of a multisport athlete, along with the idea in general, appear to be something of the past when looking at the competitive environment of sports today and an athlete’s perceived need to specialize in one sport in order to excel.

Meyer taught that humility was the belief that, “you aren’t better than anyone, but you are just as good as anyone.” This mentality not only builds confidence in those that are unsure of themselves but also helps build an attitude dedicated to servant-leadership. We are grateful to be able to endeavor in this process with your students and pass along these valuable lessons and teachable moments.
