When I think about the individuals who have made a great impression on me it is always the ones that really engage me when we are speaking or who when we first met, looked me in the eye and and were there when we were speaking. Have you ever noticed that the persons we are drawn too are courteous individuals who make us feel comfortable to speak to - the ones who are truly interested in our story.
Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 12:35PM This is not a fairy tale. This is a true story of a person we will call Bill, who came to know and be mentored by two other individuals, Bob and Jim. Jim came into Bill’s life first and had so much knowledge to share and was very willing to do so. Bill would make mistakes - in fact on a fairly regular basis, but Jim was always there to help out and to show Bill the way. In fact despite the fact that Bill wondered if he would ever be as good as Jim he was very happy to have someone around to show him where he was going wrong. Later in Bills life he had another mentor. His name was Bob.
Monday, June 1, 2009 at 4:00PM Each Month we define and discuss a word of character development with all of our students. This month the word is Courtesy. It will be defined this way.
Young students: Courtesy means "I am thoughtful, polite and kind to others."
Older students: Courtesy means showing respect kindness and consideration for others.
