2) Today’s Monday message is focused on practicing patience. Having patience means being able to wait calmly in the face of frustration or adversity. So, anywhere there is frustration or adversity, which is nearly everywhere, we have the opportunity to practice being patient. Please read the email I sent you this morning to learn more about the benefits and how to improve being patient. It is my hope that if you practice being patient with your friends and teachers, you will have a more enjoyable end to the school year.
