Our seniors got to have one last day of elementary-style PE! Our rockstar team of ES PE teachers had these 18 and 19-year-olds laughing and playing like little kids!

Hey @VivaAerobus and @Raiders, maybe you can use some of that sponsorship money to give me a reasonable and fair reimbursement for my luggage you lost. Your offer of $300 USD doesn’t come close to the amount I lost.

Feeling unsteady is not a sign of instability. It's often a path to progress.

Standing still feels secure, but gaining momentum to move forward requires tilt or sway. Walking is controlled falling.

Being in equilibrium breeds comfort. Feeling off balance leads to growth.

Day 14 of missing luggage. 10 hours on the phone and no info. Each call a different timeline: 48-72 hours, 6-10 days, 21 days. Not one time have they called me like they said they would. @Raiders not sure why you partnered with @VivaAerobus. Worst experience ever with a company

[Michael Kaufman @MrMikeKauf]

@jamie_stark @FIS_School @GooseChaseEDU So much fun! We do this for our new students, partnered up with our student ambassadors.

Going on Day 6 and still nothing. By far the worst flying experience and customer service I have ever experienced. I get things are tough now with airlines but I have never dealt with a company that has done so little to help or provide information. @VivaAerobus @VivaTeEscucha

[Michael Kaufman @MrMikeKauf]

I have been waiting for 5 days for my luggage to arrive and no one from @VivaAerobus can help me or give me an idea of when my luggage will get here.

I have spoken to 5 people over the last 5 days and no one can help? 🤔

Instead of asking yourself, "What should I do first?"

Try asking, "What should I neglect first?"

Trim, edit, cull. Make space for better performance.

@gioia_morasch @FIS_School I'd love to hear how you manage this day. We are thinking of building one into our schedule 1 x a month to start.

@ZetaGasJalisco Tengo una hora tratando de pedir gas y nadie contesta. Paso el mes pasado también. Que hago?

Resilience isn’t about immunity to pain. It’s about finding the strength to withstand strain.

You don't need to overcome all your hardships now. You just have to carry them until your future self can handle them.

The burdens that seem heavy today usually feel lighter tomorrow.

Values are verbs, not nouns. In order to build the culture we envision, we have to enact our values in how we show up every single day.
