What does it mean to feel or be accepted? It’s always a nice feeling when our friends, family members, teachers, and others accept are accepting of us.

Today, our prayer service led by Danielle, Sojein, Sam and Mikayla, discussed what acceptance means and the team guided us through several prayers and intentions, and a song. Finding acceptance within ourselves can be a very challenging task. One part of the group’s opening prayer really stuck out to me and that was: we need to spend more energy on our attitudes and what we can change within ourselves rather than on what the world needs to do to change.

Students were asked to write about a time when they felt accepted. Have a look below at the students in action:
