Missing important milestones, especially as we are

growing up, is very difficult. Everyone has gone
through this difficult chapter at the same time. We
will look back at this time and say, "In Grade ..., we
were stuck at home," but we can also choose to say
that "In Grade ..., we were safe at home."

Reframe. Hope is in your hands. You can choose to

see the negative or positive side of each situation.

EVERY CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE (GOOD OR BAD)

HAS POSITIVES IN IT. WHAT ARE 2 THINGS THAT
CAME OUT OF THE COVID CHAPTER THAT ARE
POSITIVE FOR YOU?

WHAT ARE HABITS OR LESSONS FROM THIS DIFFICULT CHAPTER THAT YOU

OK

There will always be chapters of our lives when we feel

stuck or like our lives are not how we want them to be. The
thoughts that race through our minds can be overwhelming.
This chapter will focus on mental health, when to reach out
for help, and how to develop positive daily practices. It's
important to stay proactive with your mental health-- not
just during COVID, but always.

ARTWORK: TO A FLAME
ARTIST: LYNDSAY MARION WASKO

If you can set your sights on better days and believe

that they will come, you can get through anything. You
are strong enough. You are in control of your hope.

WHAT IS HOPE? WRITE IT OR DRAW IT.

HOPE IMPROVES OUR LIVES BECAUSE IT HELPS US LOOK INTO THE FUTURE AND ENCOURAGES
US TO TAKE STEPS TOWARD ACHIEVING OUR GOALS.
WHO OR WHERE DO YOU GET HOPE FROM? SOME EXAMPLES ARE FAITH, FAMILY, TEACHERS,
FRIENDS, OR ROLE MODELS.

HOPE CAN GET US THROUGH TOUGH SITUATIONS. WHEN DID AMANDA RUMMERY DECIDE TO
EMBRACE HOPE?
