Jumping your Hurdles“The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”

Tearing off the Labels
Image: property of Why Try?
This grading period we will be looking at the labels people give one another. We will explore how these 'labels' impact the way people view us and how we view ourselves. We will also be looking at how these 'labels' impact how we chose to behave, the decisions we make, and our achievements.
Starting with this unit we will have the chance to showcase something about ourselves and/or a song/piece of music that inspires us to change or do better. See Ms C for the sign up sheet OR contact her via the contact button at the top of the page
