Working Through Our Fears

When you think of successful people, you tend to focus on their accomplishments—with little thought given to their failures along the way. The reality is that those who achieve success also leave a wake of disappointments behind them. In the song The Measure of a Man, written by Elton John, one lyric shares a striking irony: “You [have] to lose to win.”

• Discuss a time when you overcame a fear that led to growth or success.  
• Based on your own experience(s) and what you have learned from the activities you participated in this week, share 1      strategy that you and your classmates can use when encountering difficulties in your educational journeys.
