Then I had them journal about the little things that people around them do to make them feel special. Next we discussed as a class what the quote meant to them, what it meant to me and how we can make others feels amazing and important. And they wrote their ideas down on paper for a bulletin board in the classroom. They had amazing ideas!! I can't help but share a few here to remind all of us that it just takes a short moment to make someone's day a little brighter.
*Give thanks
*Write a card
*Get to know someone better
*Say "hello"!
*Address people by their name
*Stand up for someone
*Help them fix their mistakes
*Remember their birthday
*Help someone carry something
*Hold the door for someone
*Listen to what people are saying
*Share
*Forgive and forget
*Say please and thank you
*Send a happy gift
*Cheer someone up
*Give them a hug
*Tell someone you think they are a strong
*Look at them when you talk to them
*Tell the truth
*Ask someone about their day
And then I came across this one and it really was a powerful message from a young person. "You should treat every goodbye like you may never see them again." Today, let's try to help others feel special, feel important and of course feel loved. And by all means, treat every goodbye as if you may never see them again.
