Wonder Day 6.24.15


No Hate. Don't push away! If someone asks you what's wrong, don't say nothing or it's fine. Tell them what really is wrong. Especially your family. They might show love in a different way and sometimes you don't like that way, but don't push them away or hurt them with mean words. Tell them what's wrong and they might actually help you. Try to find a way you like to tell people things. Your family cares, but you just don't know it. Just don't hate. If a friend comes to you, don't snap at them and tell them to go away. Tell them what's wrong. If they are good friends they will care. If not, they're bad. They just push away from people by not helping friends try[ing] not to push away from their family.

Wonder Day 4.23.15



I'm proud of being an open person that be kind and not judgmental to others just because they are different from me. I learned to accept them and ignore people who think what I think is wrong but I will not care if people judge me. I will [not]let them stand in [my] way. I will push them aside with my pride in the sky. I will be stronger than the haters. I will be the person that I am and forever will be. - middle school student, NC


Wonder Day 1.9.15 - Lily Sloan



I want to take more positive action in defining (and redefining) what success in my career looks like...TO ME. I want to walk steadily toward that picture...or dance there. I want to worry less about how the choices in my career, family, or lifestyle look to other people. I want to be open to change and redirection.
