Dear Students,

It’s better to be good at something than to not be good at something. But getting good at something can be hard. You have to fail. You have to make mistakes. Sometimes you have to look like a fool. There’s nothing fifth graders hate more than looking like a fool in front of their peers.

So it takes a lot of courage. Living the good life is mostly about courage. Do you have to courage to fail and keep going? Do you have the courage to do what’s important to you no matter what others think? Do you have the courage to stand up for what’s right, even if it’s not popular?

Show courage today and always,

Mr. H
