Dearest mother —
It warms my beard to write you. A dispatch arrived at my home far within the Appalachians stating I'm once again the topic of conversation inside the periodicals. Fascinating. I hope you received the basket of salted raccoon toes and lemon mouse cakes.

Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

Ms. Riley’s 1st gr. computer arts & tech class at Rush built sail cars in the computer lab. In teams, students planned for building, used tools to secure the sail cars & measured the distance that their sail cars traveled using different sizes and shapes of sails. Way to go!
