New Look for the New Year

Every so often, I like to revamp the look of Water for Sixth Grade. This seemingly insignificant move can actually represent something important and applicable to your own life. Do you ever look in the mirror and decide it's time to make a change? This change could be a physical one: lose weight, get in shape, dress differently, better hygiene, or get a hair cut. This change could also be a mental/emotional one: be more respectful, be more appreciative, say "thank you" more, say "I love you" more, help out around the house, get your homework done, do chores without being asked, have a better attitude about school, or think about others instead of yourself. Sometimes, when things are going along smoothly, we lose track of the big picture in life and get too focused on ourselves and our own world. We are here to make a difference and to help people. Are you doing that? If not, perhaps you need to stop and make a change. Don't be intimidated by the pressure to "make a difference" in the world. A difference doesn't have to be some big monumental thing. It could be something small like helping out around the house, giving a compliment, or giving a hug. Just think about it and be aware of the world and your place in it.
