Self-Esteem


Well, I just finished reading an excellent book on self-esteem, so I thought I would share it with you. It's Nathaniel Branden's A Woman's Self-Esteem. Don't be fooled by the title because it's relevant for both guys and gals. Here's a quote from his book:
"Self-Esteem is a reflection of how we live, how we meet the challenges of life, not what we have or how we look, or how popular we might be."

What do you think of this statement?

I've included a link on an article he wrote if you want to read more.

My plan is to explore this topic more fully with you in the school year.

Just Learning . . .

Hi students,

I am excited to work with all of you, but I am very new to this blog stuff so please be patient with me. Some of you know me from Sexsmith Elementary and four of you I actually taught when you were in Grade 5 - you know who you are. It's amazing how paths cross in one's life. I am here for all of you, so let me know how I can help. Find me here or in my office - second floor. Looking forward to a great year.
