AS MUMMA USED TO SAY…LIFE IS PRECIOUS

I have found it so interesting the last couple of weeks working with the young people who have come into the GIFTED project.
They all have different personalities;funny, quiet, loud, happy, bubbly, shy. However they are all special. In this LIFE all children need to know is that they are SPECIAL!! This is the Foundation (key word) that stands them in good stead to move forward onto a progressive, successful adult life. Obviously, with being told you’re special, you need the good role models, so much love, support and rules in place to ensure that you become a grounded person with morals and self control.
However seeing all of these different talented young people it made me think about LIFE..how quickly it goes…nearing 30 and it feels like I was 11 not so long ago myself…not to take LIFE for granted and to remember those less fortunate then myself! And very importantly, to ensure every young person I know or come into contact with leaves if not already, knowing how SPECIAL they are and how Special their LIFE is!!
