Day 18: Decision to try

I don't love this picture as much as some I've seen, but I do love the message.

I've told my students this story recently:  When I was in 5th grade, I struggled with fractions.  Up to that point, I can't remember anything being difficult for  me, academically speaking.  And I thought that if you weren't naturally good at something, it wasn't meant to be.  Eventually I learned to look at math differently, and to try new ways of doing it.

Trying and practicing make all the difference.  In academics, in eating habits, and in relationships.  I'm doing better at trying.
