PROMPT: teacher gives class a different type of assignment

LEARN TO LIVE WITH A CONSTANT IN CHANGE.

“class, today we have a little something different planned“ Mrs. Marvel said as we walked into the room. I could see that our papers weren’t on our desks for us to do or do you know today, I could also see that we had no pencils and nothing was wiped down, hence there was really no evidence that class was prepared for us to stay. “Theodore could you be a doll and make sure that everybody does not take a seat they all just line up in the front of the classroom?“ That’s weird we never do that. Ha? I wonder why this is Happening. All the kids are going crazy they’re all being insane because this isn’t our normal routine which makes us excited because going to school is boring for us little kids it’s hard to sit through and it’s hard to be there and do the same thing every single day. So I guess we’re just having a little fun with it. “No this is a change isn’t it? This is hard for you or may be exciting? Or maybe it’s stressful may be overwhelming? No, kids this is what we call change. Some people in life have a very very hard time with it, some people in life love it can’t get enough of it. Now I am one of those people who don’t like it too much but it’s important that we learn how to deal with change and adapt to it. It’s important that we don’t let the stress get the better of us that we stay a good person stay at constant, keep our respective behavior, and keep ourselves together through it all. Change is very hard at times or very exciting at other times. It’s a giving, throughout life you’re going to go through change. You’re going to go through hard change, you’re going to go through easy change, and you’re going to go through some impossible changes. Now in the situations you need someone to talk to, and you need a constant in your life. So raise your hand if you’re stressed.“ One kid raised their hand. Then as others saw that kid raise their hand they raise their‘s to so now there was about 12 out of 15 kids raising their hands. “See, more people stress than excited, that is very conmen. Could you all name some hobbies like art or sports or even just doodling, or thinking of your pets or baking or just anything that calms you down or that you like to do that you’ve always done. Maybe breathing exercises.“ We went around the circle naming things that we liked to do that didn’t require too much time. “OK so now I want you all to write on the piece of paper that you have in front of you in this circle, that thing that you said whether it be breathing exercises or art or really anything that you liked to do. So what you’re going to do is every year on this date I’m gonna send these cards to you or an email or text saying what that card says on it and I want you to make sure that you’re always doing this thing through your entire life throughout all the change and all the hard and all that happy you have this constant you have this to resort to.
