Maybe it seems like forever ago you walked out those blue gates or maybe it seems like just yesterday you finished all those murals at school. Either way, tomorrow marks the begining of the new school year! I have been thinking a lot about how much attitude can make a difference. Last night I was listening to a speaker that spoke about the difference that American students and Asian students (meaning students that are actually attending school in Asia) approach math. Here in the U.S. many people think being good at math is something you are born with and there is not much you can do to change your ability. In Asia, the students believe that the key to understanding math is hardwork. Statistics show that schools in Asia outperform schools in America, I believe we can change this simply by changing that attitude that we approach learning with, teachers and students both. Imagine the power of truly believing you can! Think about it, what attitude will you bring tomorrow? The next day? This school year? Could it make a difference? I believe it can!
