Earning your Tiger Stripes
This is a way for new experiances are welcomed. For new things to be encouraged. Whether it be music or food, it all is new to you. The world is a playground to explore. Every chance you get to explore, dont hesitate to act on it. It's there to be explored and experianced. With more experiances, come more wisdom. And wisdom is such a gift everyone will receive in time.
Wisdom is something that is different from every other gift. This gift, is powerful, but requires one to make mistakes. Mistakes and learning are crucial to the development of wisdom. It creates character and one of a kind stories. Life wouldn't be precious is one was to keep with the normalcy all their life. Normalcy needs to be broken in order for ones "tiger stripes" to form.
School assignments and home situations now, don't tend to promote "exploring your enviornment." Since its new, it's unknown. And the unknown terribly frightens many. This will encourage students to be stretched outside of their comfort zone. To become okay with the unknown. This experiment will test students to do what they never would've before. It forces us, as a class, to take chances and support one another. It's scary to go in alone, but this allows the students to be supported and have the anxieties ease. It's time to be stretched past our limits, and pushed out of our comfort zone. Time to. Earn the tiger stripes (stretch marks).
