On a Thought 
Ona! I love this format for a SOL story. I can only imagine the convos that surrounded each piece of advice. May I share this as a BE INSPIRED feature in March? If so, please email me with your permission and a permalink to this post sometime this week. Thanks!
Watch your face… that was a great way to end! That one has me wondering.
Thanks, Stacey! And of course. 🙂 I’ll email.
What an interesting form! I could see you moving through your day, balancing everything that came your way, planned or unplanned. Who doesn’t start with a “venti coffee”? Such wisdom in that last line. I was recently discussing how students often misunderstand our communication because they misread our faces. Studies have shown how middle school student especially struggle with this, thinking someone is sad or angry when they’re not. The study stated that is one of the reasons that age often said their teacher doesn’t like them, or is sad, or mad at them… when it is nowhere close to the circumstances. Has to do with brain development.
Watch your face is the perfect title and last line. Thank you for this format!
