A new term has begun, and already some students have either been told, or feel, or believe that they are not good enough - that they are a loser. Not a good thing to believe for the rest of your school year, let alone your life!
So in order to encourage you, dear reader, I will share a little story with you that I do with most of them at the end of the first lesson.
Once upon a time, your mommy & daddy got together (to represent this, I draw a sperm and an egg on the blackboard - it's not long before someone smiles at the recognition of such a basic image!) – and they made you… Now, the amazing miracle is that there was one egg, and there were millions of these sperm…but only one sperm made it to the egg. Only one touched down! And that sperm was YOU! Your sperm won!
So, remember this – you are NOT a loser! You are a winner!
I told this story on Friday, and it was really great to see one girl punch the air when she realised this wonderful truth :-)
