Post for November 6th week 12
My post this week does not have much to do with school counseling but I just wanted to share a story I watched on HBO over the weekend. HBO had a special about people who had died in Iraq. In the special, their families read the letters from them before they died. In one of the letters, a female soldier told her mom that "to be loved and to love where the best things about life. She thanked her mom for showing her both of these things." I just thought this was an awesome idea and very true!

What a fitting tribute for Veteran's Day. Love is powerful. I think this activity could be transferred over into a classroom guidance activity. In high school, kids sometimes want to rebel against their parents. They are fighting to become independent and have a difficult time expressing their feelings to their parents. A letter writing activity may be a good way of expressing those feelings that they sometimes can't vocalize.
