Activities for week four 2nd semester 2/19 - 2/22 - 2013

Harvard professor of psychiatry George E. Vaillant, in his book Aging Well, identifies resiliency as a significant characteristic of people who navigate the many transitions of life from birth to old age. He writes, "Resilience reflects individuals who metaphorically resemble a twig with a fresh, green living core. When twisted out of shape, such a twig bends but it does not break; instead it springs back and continues growing." That is an description of how you need to be to persevere and make the most of your talents here at El Dorado. You must not become dry, brittle, and inflexible. You would be wise to follow the words of Jerry West: "You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days you feel good." So as we move to the end of the school year let's do the most we can with what we have. Finally do you have all of your S.S.Reading points - you could bounce back there, if you come in and make up your time reading for the last reading period only.
