Today, I learned many valuable lessons: how to plan for math but most importantly in the process of learning a life lesson, I lost a friend.
Today's lesson, I need to be the Eagle Scout that I am. I need to remember an Eagle Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. It seems lately, I have forgotten the way of the Eagle, the way I was raised.
Today's lesson, I learned that I need to be upfront immediately, I should not wait until hours afterwards to discuss the problem. It scares me when I have to confront my problems, I just have to remember that I have to get out of my confront zone and strive through it. Experiencing what I experienced will make me a stronger person.
Today's lesson, I learned I need to be courteous and kind to everyone, especially my friends. Under no circumstances, should I be the undesired, rude asshole. I need to be mindful of my tone and body language. Most importantly, I need to provide clarification rather than responding to one worded responses. I am a man, not some caveman.
With that said and done, from this point on, I am going to make a conscious effort
1. to follow through with all my engagements and appointments (this week, I need to email Chandra an updated schedule, bake sale, plan for science, setting up parent conferences, inputting the iep progress)
2. continue to be the way of the Eagle, especially being courteous and kind. I need to be mindful of everyone, I should not say things that will harm anyone or in my case, losing a friendship.
3. what happened in the past, happened in the past. There is no sense in dwelling over it.
A process I am looking forward to, I need to become the better person I desired.
