PERSEVERANCE!!!

What does it mean to PERSEVERE? NEVER GIVE UP?

Today we will be learning to PERSEVERE and ENDURE through some physical conditioning/training. We all have days when we want to give up or just quit, but knowing how to OVERCOME those negative feelings will be of main focus for today's lesson.

Along with physical training, we will be doing a little bit of "Role Play" putting ourselves in other people's shoes - those who are less fortunate without shelter, food, the basic necessities we are ever so blessed to enjoy on a daily basis.

Last week the girls were asked to bring in any household items for today's class - from clothing to canned goods we can donate to women in our area who are in need. No purchase is necessary - all goodies can be slightly used such as clothes we don't wear anymore but are in wearable condition, toiletries, etc.
