Darterria G. is a picture of FORGIVENESS

# data[].attributes.body
The interesting thing about Darterria is that her strengths in the TLC program, lend to her self-trait of honesty.  After doing TLC activities and observing her in groups, she was open to letting things go and moving on.  One of her perspectives on forgiveness was it's ok to say that you’re sorry and not hold grudges.  She has been seen forgiving others and letting things go.  It is an important skill that she is perfecting and it will assist her throughout her life.  Participating in TLC helped her admit her mistakes and in turn learn how to forgive others.

Treasure is the picture of Gratitude. The first thing she does every morning when she walks into school is share either something good that has happened since we last saw her or something she is looking forward to today. When obstacles arise, her first move is to think about how to turn it into a challenge that she will grow through. She can easily see the positive in her days. At GEMS, we write Gratitude Grahams weekly. She is very thoughtful with her thank yous and uses them as a way to tell people that they are important to her and that they have enhanced her life. In addition to writing one to someone at school, she regularly brings extras home to give to her family. It is easy to see how Treasure uses her strength of gratitude to maintain positivity and persevere through challenges.

Thomas is the picture of Perspective. As a crew member, he gives wise and thoughtful input to our discussions. In his interactions with others, he can easily see and accept everyone’s point of view.  He asks questions to fully understand something before he carefully forms an opinion. Because of these things, our crew really values his thoughts and contributions. He is generally the first person to put forth an idea when we start a complex discussion. For the group, he sets a tone of respectful consideration. Thomas’s strength of perspective makes him a leader in our class.

Over the years, Kayla, has evolved with openness and wit.  Initially, she was not the type that you would consider humorous by definition.  She was standoffish and somewhat of a loner.  In exploring our strengths activity Kayla realized that she used humor as a coping mechanism.  Her response to naming her strengths connected to her abilities to assist and help others.  Although, initially, you would not know it, Kayla is very giving and wants to help others.  She especially used her humor this year to get through some tough family situations and those complicated teenaged moments.  It seems that  this program helped her to open up and not focus on herself but to understand how she could help others.
