Back To School Advice for Kids

These are the things I wish someone had told me as I was headed back to school for a new year.

We asked on Facebook and you delivered on some great advice for Southwest Michigan kids heading back to school.

• Dress in layers and memorize your locker combo.
• Smile and greet everyone in class.
• Be kind.
• Remember bullying is not nice
• There will be both winners and losers. Most of the time you will be in the latter category.
• Always do your best. Always be kind. Always keep a positive attitude.
• Your Best is Enough - even if it’s not the best it could be on a better day.
• Things you can't control:
  Who is the smartest.
  Who is the prettiest.
  Who has the nicest clothes.
  Who is most popular.
  Things you CAN control:
  Who is the kindest!
  Be THAT person.

As you can see, the theme is "Be kind." Great advice not just for students but for all of us.
