The vulnerability shared (and those things you're feeling that you didn't share) are exactly why we have family groups. Trusting each other with the challenges does require choosing courage.

Talk about facing obstacles with optimism. These individuals are future leaders of emotional intelligence combined with resilience that emits to others who can come to them for anything. With this as a base springboard ingrained in their character the impact they'll make on, not only their students but, their school community, (especially when they get to mentor other teachers), will be even more profound than the status-quo.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't imagine being the person that someone came to for all of my VSTT questions, so shoutout to you for taking extra time to help others people out, even when you don't need to. I am sure that everyone in your LC is so grateful to have you as a leader within their community!
