Guest or Host?

Part of our 7th and 8th grade curriculum involves a once a week leadership discussion centered around a chapter from the book Habitudes, Images That Form Leadership Habits and Attitudes. This week’s 8th grade lesson helped students see that “leaders take the initiative in relationships.”  The lesson challenged our 8th graders to not be a “guest” in life but to take initiative and be the “host” in the many relationships that they have. At the end of the discussion, each eighth grader was asked to journal one way they could be a host and not a guest in life. I always look forward to leading this discussion and enjoy hearing from Woodland’s “senior class.”
