Counselor's Corner: Character the Blythewood Way...
Character the Blythewood Way
Habit 5-Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood-Listen Before You Talk…The Core Principle we will Spotlight this week is Curiosity. Curiosity is defined as a strong desire to know or learn something. It is a craving, a longing, a passion for knowledge. Curiosity allows you to embrace unfamiliar circumstances, giving you a greater opportunity to experience discovery and joy. Indeed, studies show that life is better when you're curious. Being curious about the world around you is a great habit to develop. It makes life more interesting. It gets rid of boredom. And it can help you to make the world a better place. What could your curiosity inspire?
“The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.” – Dorothy Parker
“Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect.” – Samuel Johnson
“The future belongs to the curious.The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it, and turn it inside out.” – Anonymous
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
It matters that you don't just give up.”
It matters that you don't just give up.”
― Stephen Hawking

Habit 5- Seek First to Understand Then to be understood-Listen Before You Talk...
The Core Principle word we will be Spotlighting this week is Courage. Courage is the ability to meet danger or pain without giving in to fear. It means doing the right thing even when it’s scary or difficult. Courage shows up in many ways all around you. Courage is standing up for a friend, helping someone in need or sticking with something that is hard for you to do. … As a young person courage is one of the most important things you can develop. Having courage makes you a better person, a better student and a better citizen. Have you ever done something that you knew was the right thing to do, but you were scared to do it? Or maybe you did something that looked very hard, but you decided to try it. That is courage in action and you probably felt very good about what you did. And you should!
“Courage is doing what you’re afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you’re scared.” – Edward Vernon Rickenbacker
“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” – Winston Churchill
“It takes courage for people to listen to their own goodness and act on it.” – Pablo Casals
“He is courageous who endures and fears the right thing, for the right motive, in the right way and at the right times.” – Aristotle
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.” – Mary Anne Radmacher

Office hours/contact hours for teachers during this time are 9:00 am - 10:30 am and again from 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm. If you or your child(ren) have questions regarding an assignment, they can email the teacher during these timeframes.
While assignments can be completed at the students’ own pace, please encourage your child(ren) to create a regular schedule and stay on top of the assignments so that things don’t start to pile up
Parents, thank you for your patience and your continued support of our teachers and all of our staff during this time.
