Week 58 - some ketchup & mayo (without audio)
goodness gracious me - Saadadeen & Sulaiman catch you up on a thought from their week
Goodness
I asked an 11-year-old boy yesterday, ‘What makes someone a good person’?
He replied:
‘loyalty,
bravery,
curiosity,
leadership,
kindness,
respect,
and a lot more.’
Gracious me
i was working in a school during the summer
i feel like so much has changed since I was in school and, at the same time, nothing has changed at all.
students are still motivated by the same things: fear, hope envy, respect, desirability, belonging
… i wanted to add love to the list, but, on second thought, i don’t think I had seen much love. in fact, I’m not sure what love would look like in secondary school.
i don’t know if there is room to show love.
by show i mean display. so maybe, in secret.
but In a secondary school, more than in most places, love seems too hard and being irreverent too easy.
