The Middle School welcomed speaker Mike Hall on Tuesday,
September 11, to encourage positive attitudes with his motivational Zero to
Hero presentation. Mike shared a few of
his inspiring life stories while keeping students AND teachers laughing and able
to relate to what he had to say. He recommended
the students to, “Design the life that matters, not the life you want.”
He revealed a blind fact that the problem dwelling within the hallways of many
schools is not just the bullies themselves, but also the good people who often stand around and let the bullying
happen. Some encouraging ideas Mike left
the students with were to 1) Surround yourself with people who have it more
together than you do because their positive actions or skills could rub off on
you, 2) Tune into voices that bring you up & tune out voices that bring you
down; choose more encouraging friends, 3) Evaluate yourself before you judge
others. The students and faculty really
enjoyed Mike’s visit and were engaged in his heartfelt assembly. More from Mike
can be found on his website at www.mikeisspeaking.com,
as well as Twitter and Facebook at www.facebook.com/mikeisspeaking.
Thanks to Ms. Minor, CCMS' Americorps worker, for the write-up!
